Active Wildfires in Kansas
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in Kansas.About Kansas Wildfire Season
Kansas sees its heaviest fire activity in March and April, before spring green up returns moisture to the landscape. Tallgrass prairie and cured dead grass dominate the state, joined increasingly by invasive eastern red cedar, a woody fuel that does not cure and dry the way grass does but burns dramatically hotter once it catches, producing flame lengths several times taller than a typical grass fire. Local meteorologists are explicit that short term wind events, not long term drought, are what actually drive Kansas's largest fires. The vast majority of ignitions are human caused, often through negligence or equipment sparks, playing out across tallgrass prairie that historically burned across roughly a third of its area in any given year.Kansas Fire Map Today
