CONTEXT
About wildfires in Colorado
Wildfire activity is seasonal and weather-driven. Incidents grow and shrink quickly, so the size shown here is the most recent reported figure and can change within hours as conditions and containment shift.
Not every heat signature is a destructive fire. This page draws on official incident reporting; some detections are prescribed or agricultural burns that are filtered out where the source flags them.
