About this app

Wildfires are becoming bigger, more intense, more destructive, and more frequent. We want to make the world a safer place, so we put the power of 21st Century wildfire detection in the palm of your hand.

• We use MODIS and VIIRS satellites to spot, map, and track blazing wildfires around the world.
• We use two NRCAN layers to visualize detected fire and fire perimeters across Canada.
• Control the sensitivity of MODIS and VIIRS blazing fire detection filters yourself.
• We update blazing fire detection around the world twice a day to keep you aware and safe.
• Check detections from previous months – handy for planning your next wilderness hike or canoe trip.
• Not sure you have the latest detections in app? You can update the detections on demand.
• Worried about friends, family, or property in a remote location? Use the search feature to check for blazing fires.
• Worried about your campsite? Use our GPS tool, see your position and spot any blazing fires nearby.
• Need to raise the alarm? Share blazing fire detections on social media, text message, or email.
• Want to report a fire? We show you the location of each blazing fire detection and NRCAN perimeter.

Ratings and reviews

It worked for about 1 week and all of a sudden there are no fires in BC??? The entire province is on fire and this app dosen't show any of them anymore! The specifically is a large one quite close to me right now that I would very much like to be keeping an eye on but even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app, it still shows nothing!

I get nothing but "cannot sync data from server"errors. I'm an American Android user, but I'm in Canada with a working data connection. [Update: it's intermittent. Refresh enough, or wait long enough (?) and it works.]

Very cool and simple! Definitely is useful for travelers, especially traveling to forest areas.
