Description
Stay Safe. Stay Informed. Track Wildfires with FireMaps.
FireMaps is a modern wildfire tracking app that puts near-real-time satellite fire data on an interactive map, with smart filters and customizable alerts — all in one lightweight, easy-to-use tool. Whether you're a resident in a fire-prone area, a traveler, or just staying aware, FireMaps helps you keep an eye on active fire activity around the globe.
Fire data comes from NASA FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System), using the MODIS and VIIRS satellite instruments.
