Data sources
None of this is ours: every number comes from an authority or a public satellite. This page says exactly which, so you can check it at the source.
Official data
Emergency services publish each incident: status, resources and (sometimes) a perimeter.
- 🇵🇹 Portugal — ANEPC — Autoridade Nacional de Emergência e Proteção Civil
- 🇺🇸 United States — NIFC / WFIGS — National Interagency Fire Center
- 🇨🇦 Canada — CWFIS — Canadian Wildland Fire Information System
- 🇦🇺 Australia — NSW RFS · VIC EMV · QLD QFES · SA CFS · WA DFES · TAS Fire Service
Satellite detection
With no open official feed, we cluster satellite heat detections. They show where fire is, not who is fighting it.
- 🇪🇸🇫🇷🇮🇹Spain, France, Italy
- 🇩🇪🇬🇧🇮🇪🇵🇱Germany, UK, Ireland, Poland
- 🇧🇷🇳🇿Brazil, New Zealand
Context and layers
Weather, risk, air quality, satellite imagery and warnings.
- NASA FIRMS (VIIRS / MODIS) — satellite heat detections
- Copernicus EFFIS — burnt-area perimeters
- Copernicus Sentinel-2 — before/after fire imagery
- ICNF — official burnt areas (Portugal)
- IPMA — fire risk and warnings (Portugal)
- NOAA / NWS — weather warnings (US)
- Open-Meteo — wind, temperature and forecasts
- CAMS (via Open-Meteo) — air quality and smoke
- LANDFIRE — fuel and terrain (US)
- OpenStreetMap — roads and closures
- adsb.fi — aircraft positions
Our own work
Two things come from nobody else: the FWI index (computed by us over open forecasts) and the spread simulation (a Rothermel model over public fuel and terrain data). Both are our own estimates, always labelled as such — never official forecasts.
