International Wildfire Activity
Tanzania Wildfires: Live Map & Satellite Activity
Track wildfire activity across Tanzania with Copernicus GWIS mapped burned-area events and NASA FIRMS satellite heat detections. GWIS provides satellite-derived burned-area context; FIRMS shows separate thermal activity detected from space.
For confirmed incidents, warnings and evacuation information, follow national and local authorities.
Satellite heat & recent fire events
Map key: fire pins show recent Copernicus GWIS fire events; orange and red marks show NASA satellite heat. A Copernicus event is not automatically a named official incident, and one wildfire can create several heat detections.
Recent fire events in Tanzania
Copernicus GWIS adds recent satellite-derived burned-area events alongside the NASA FIRMS heat layer. Each event gets an approximate geographic label from its source geometry, not an invented official incident name. These are fire-event records, not evacuation notices or incident-command reports.

Tanzania activity at a glance
How to read Tanzania activity
The country view uses NASA FIRMS satellite heat detections as its live signal. A cluster can contain several observations from one fire, so the number of detections should not be read as the number of separate wildfires.
How individual fire-event pages work
WildfireSignal uses Copernicus GWIS near-real-time burned-area events to create individual fire-event pages. These satellite-derived events are kept separate from named national incident records, because they do not by themselves provide containment, evacuation or incident-command status.
Official and satellite wildfire sources for Tanzania
WildfireSignal uses NASA FIRMS for its satellite heat-detection layer and links to official sources for wildfire context. For confirmed incidents, warnings, evacuation orders and other emergency information, rely on official national and local authorities.
