There are currently 111 wildfires blazing across the U.S., according to newly released data by the National Interagency Fire Center.
Of the active wildfires, 31 are currently under suppression efforts, and the rest are being managed “under strategies other than full suppression.”
Year-to-date, there have been 36,156 fires burning more than 2 million acres.
While the number of fires is nearly double that of last year’s total for the same period (17,362), the acreage affected this year is much less than the 2,817,728 acres of land impacted during the same period in 2024.
Alaska leads the nation, with 79 currently active wildfires, followed by California and Montana. Only two of the 79 fires in Alaska have been contained.
According to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information’s disaster analysis, wildfires across the U.S. cost an estimated 3.3 billion dollars per year between 1980-2024.
