Act now — no map needed

The interactive map needs JavaScript to shade live conditions for your country. You don’t need it to act — these vetted, globally relevant organisations are one click away.

Spend a Saturday on defensible space · opens ifrc.org → Clear and maintain the 0–5 ft, 5–30 ft, and 30–100 ft zones around your house. Empirically the single most protective thing a homeowner can do — post-event surveys after Camp Fire (2018) and Marshall Fire (2021) found 3–4× home-survival improvements. Mostly free.
Pack a 72-hour go-bag · opens ifrc.org → Documents, medications, water, N95s, charger, pet leash, and clothes. One Saturday once. Most people who lose homes in wildfires don't have time to pack — having it ready means you leave on the first advisory, not the last.
Sign up for your country's emergency-alert system · opens itu.int → Most national or regional governments run an opt-in or automatic emergency-alert push system that delivers evacuation orders to your phone before the news has it. Free, takes five minutes, life-saving in a fast-moving fire.
Donate to wildfire relief and recovery · opens ifrc.org → When a major wildfire is active, displaced households need shelter, water, food, and medications first; rebuilding aid second. These operators are independent, audited, and have decades of disaster-response experience.
Join a fire-safe council or volunteer fire department · opens insarag.org → Most defensible-space work is led by community fire-safe councils — neighbours organising chipper days and free home assessments. In many rural areas, the fire department is staffed by volunteers, full stop.

Wildfire Map

Tap any hotspot — see the detection, country alert level, and the single best thing you can do for that area this weekend. Active fires from ; alert overlays from . Refreshed once a day.

Opens on a top-3 highest-power active fire. Search or the active-fire list to explore your own region. Warmer country shading = more detections in the feed; pale fill = no reading today.

How this portal works

Hotspots are pulled from — thermal anomalies detected by and satellites with sub-day latency. We pull the most recent 24 hours of active fires once a day.
alerts tag fires that have crossed magnitude or population-exposure thresholds defined by the EU/UN framework.
Country shading shows recent active-fire detection density — a coarse indicator of whether fire weather is active in that country.
The recommender derives need-signals (active fires nearby, country-level fire activity, season) and ranks the catalog by use-case match plus simplicity.
Hotspots are not perimeters. They are points where a satellite detected heat in a roughly 375m–1km pixel. For active perimeters and evacuation zones, follow your local fire authority.
Your pins live in your browser’s local storage. Use Export JSON to back them up.
No accounts. No tracking. No upload. Outbound calls from the browser: our own server (live data), OpenFreeMap (basemap).

Sources: country borders — Natural Earth (public domain); basemap — OpenFreeMap & OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); active fires — (open data with attribution), refreshed daily; wildfire alerts — (EU/UN); rendering — MapLibre GL JS (BSD-3); mitigation catalogue assembled from open-access references including Firewise USA, Wildfire Prepared Home, CalFire Ready for Wildfire.

sensor coverage is global; revisit times vary by latitude (most places are revisited multiple times per day). Sensor confidence is reported per detection; lower confidence may include sub-pixel non-fire heat. See methodology.
