Disclaimer:
Many of the fires shown on this web page have been named using the descriptions
of the fires from the daily interagency fire situation reports. Care has
been taken to use remote sensing satellites to correctly locate and identify
the fires, For a listing of the current fire status and location of fires,
see the interagency fire situation report. The USDA Forest Service uses
the most current and complete data available. GIS data and product accuracy
may vary. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for which they
were intended may yield inaccurate or misleading results. The USDA Forest
Service reserves the right to correct, update, modify or replace GIS products
