Active Wildfires in Alabama
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in Alabama.About Alabama Wildfire Season
Alabama's fire risk builds twice a year. Spring, from February through May, is the busiest stretch, with a secondary rise in the fall as weather turns dry again. Pine straw, dry native grasses, and forest litter cover a landscape that ranges from Cumberland Plateau hardwoods in the north to Gulf Coastal Plain longleaf pine in the south. The state leans heavily on a formal drought index to manage this risk, issuing a No Burn Order once conditions cross a set threshold and more than one fire per county breaks out in a day. Land managers increasingly burn during the growing season rather than the traditional dormant months, a deliberate strategy to push back hardwood growth and restore the fire adapted longleaf pine forests the region was built around.Alabama Fire Map Today
