FAQ
What does the wildfire tracker show?
The map shows satellite heat detections and wildfire-related alerts when data is available.
Does a heat detection always mean a confirmed wildfire?
No. Satellite heat signals can indicate fire, but also other heat sources or temporary detection effects.
What do confidence and heat signal mean?
Confidence describes how reliable the satellite detection is. Heat signal describes how strong the detected thermal signal appears.
Why can there be many detections in one area?
Large fires or repeated satellite passes can create several detections close together. The tracker may group nearby signals.
What should I do if a fire is near me?
Follow local authorities, emergency services and official evacuation instructions. Do not rely only on this map.
Why is Satellite the default view?
Satellite view helps users understand terrain, forests, settlements and distance around a possible fire area.
