This page exists because the federal interagency perimeter feed (NIFC WFIGS) currently lists an incident named Sugarbush in WI — 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 Oct 12, 2026, 19:57 UTC. A perimeter is a mapped boundary at a moment in time, not a live flame front. Open it on the globe: Sugarbush 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 Sugarbush Fire

  1. 1Watch the perimeter timestamp: the feed refreshes about every five minutes, and a polygon's age tells you how much to trust its edge.
  2. 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.
  3. 3Read containment as the agency's figure at the timestamp, not a live dial — it moves in steps as crews report.
  4. 4For evacuations, closures and orders, go to InciWeb and local emergency channels. This page republishes data; it issues nothing.

Sugarbush Fire — FAQ

What is the source for the Sugarbush Fire's perimeter and figures?+
The NIFC WFIGS Interagency Fire Perimeters (Current) service — the federal interagency perimeter feed. The acreage, containment and timestamp on this page are the feed's own fields, republished with credit and refreshed about every five minutes. The perimeter geometry is simplified by the source to roughly 500 m, so the outline is the mapped perimeter, not a surveyed line.
Is the fire inside the outline right now?+
Not necessarily. A perimeter is the mapped boundary of the burned and burning area at the timestamp shown — it is not a live flame front. Containment, evacuations and closures are the managing agency's calls; check InciWeb and local emergency channels for anything operational.
What are the satellite detections counted here?+
NASA FIRMS thermal detections (VIIRS/MODIS) within 40 km of the perimeter's centre in the last 24 hours. They are heat points a satellite saw — evidence of heat, which near a known incident usually means the fire's active edge and spots, but the feed itself also catches prescribed burns and other heat. They are counted and labelled as detections, never merged into the incident's own figures.
Why might this page disappear?+
It exists exactly while the incident is in the current federal feed. When WFIGS drops the incident — contained, merged or closed — this URL 404s rather than serving a stale fire as if it were current.
