High Lava Fire — WA
As the federal NIFC WFIGS feed reports it: 2,899 acres, 100% contained. Mapped perimeter, 127 cameras within 50 km, and the satellite detections around it.
This page exists because the federal interagency perimeter feed (NIFC WFIGS) currently lists an incident named High Lava in WA — and it will stop existing the moment the feed drops it. Everything on it is the feed's own data, republished with credit: the perimeter outline drawn from its polygon, its acreage and containment fields, its timestamp.
Around that official core, WorldEye adds its own two layers, each labelled as what it is: the public cameras standing within 50 km of the perimeter's centre (the ground view, when a camera happens to face the smoke), and NASA FIRMS satellite heat detections within 40 km (heat a satellite saw in the last 24 hours — not ground reports, and never merged into the incident's figures). For official status, evacuations and closures, InciWeb and the managing agency outrank anything here.
The mapped perimeter
Outline drawn from the WFIGS perimeter polygon (source-simplified to roughly 500 m), updated Sep 4, 2026, 19:10 UTC. A perimeter is a mapped boundary at a moment in time, not a live flame front. Open it on the globe: High Lava Fire on the WorldEye map. Official incident information: InciWeb.
Satellite heat detections nearby
0 detections within 40 km of the perimeter's centre in the last 24 hours (NASA FIRMS (VIIRS)). Detections are thermal points from orbit — near a mapped incident they usually trace its active edge, but the feed also records prescribed burns and other heat, and no detection is renamed into fire behaviour here.

How to follow the High Lava Fire
- 1Watch the perimeter timestamp: the feed refreshes about every five minutes, and a polygon's age tells you how much to trust its edge.
- 2Use the cameras for smoke, not flames: a public camera near a fire usually shows the plume, the light and the road closures — the incident's ground truth at street level.
- 3Read containment as the agency's figure at the timestamp, not a live dial — it moves in steps as crews report.
- 4For evacuations, closures and orders, go to InciWeb and local emergency channels. This page republishes data; it issues nothing.
