KXAN maintains interactive map and database of 2026 Central Texas wildfires

January 20, 2026

KXAN has compiled an interactive map and a linked database that document wildfires in Central Texas during 2026. The tools show where fires have burned across the region and gather available details into a single, searchable resource.

The station updates the map and database on an ongoing basis, adding new incidents and revisions as information comes in. Users can check the resource to see recent changes and to get a consolidated view of the season’s fire activity.

The map focuses on Central Texas, highlighting locations throughout the area affected this year. While it does not replace official incident commands or emergency alerts, it serves as a quick way for residents and local stakeholders to track patterns and compare events over time.

KXAN’s newsroom maintains the database alongside the interactive display, organizing entries so users can search and review past incidents. The newsroom notes updates will be reflected in both the map and the database when new data becomes available.

People who live in or travel through Central Texas can use the map to orient themselves to areas that have burned during 2026, and to follow updates as the season progresses. Emergency managers, journalists, and community members may also find the centralized record helpful for situational awareness and planning.

Readers looking for the latest entries should consult the interactive map and the database directly, as KXAN continues to add entries and correct details when new information arrives. For official warnings and evacuation orders, residents should rely on local emergency management and first responder channels.
