Burn map

Stay in the know about prescribed fires near you with the Florida Forest Service’s Burn Map.

This tool is available through the Florida Forest Service to help the public see where all active open burning authorizations are located. These data are updated regularly, so the map will change as new authorizations are added. Open burning is authorized for a variety of goals. The following legend will help you interpret the information provided on the map.

  • Active Acreage Burns
Acreage burns include:

  • Silvicultural burning to improve wildlife habitats and clear out overgrowth that fuels out-of-control wildfires
  • Agricultural burning, such as in pastures, rangeland, and sugar cane fields

  • Active Pile Burns
    Pile burns are used to remove debris from agricultural and forestry operations, as well as land clearing for development
