Active Wildfires in Michigan
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in Michigan.About Michigan Wildfire Season
Michigan's fire season centers on spring, from April through June, with a secondary window in late summer tied to thunderstorm lightning and heavier camping activity. Jack pine dominates the sandy soils of the northern Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula, a genuinely fire adapted species whose cones require the heat of a fire to open and release their seeds, meaning the tree is built to burn rather than simply vulnerable to it. Michigan's fire history runs deeper than most people realize. The Great Michigan Fires of 1871, driven by logging slash piled across the state, burned over two and a half million acres and killed hundreds of people, a scale of disaster that gets little attention next to its more famous contemporary, the Great Chicago Fire.Michigan Fire Map Today
