Active Wildfires in Rhode Island
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in Rhode Island.About Rhode Island Wildfire Season
Rhode Island's fire season is traditionally busiest in spring, before trees leaf out, with red flag warnings formally defined for two separate windows, mid February through April and October through mid December. Fine fuels like leaf litter and dead grass sit alongside denser underbrush and dead twigs in preserves such as the Arcadia Management Area and the Great Swamp. The state uses a distinctive two number fire danger system tracking both how fast a fire spreads across surface fuel and how deep it can burn into the ground, since ground fires that ignite in the duff layer here are notoriously hard to fully put out. Rhode Island's two largest wildland fires on record both occurred within the past few years, a genuinely new development for a place not typically associated with fire risk at all.Rhode Island Fire Map Today
