This map contains live feed sources for US current wildfire locations and perimeters, VIIRS and MODIS hot spots, wildfire conditions / red flag warnings, and wildfire potential. Each of these layers provides insight into where a fire is located, its intensity and the surrounding areas susceptibility to wildfire.

Wildfire: This displays large active fire incidents and situation reports that have been entered into the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) database by local emergency response teams. The final official perimeter should be obtained from the host unit, which can be determined by looking at the Unit Id for any specific fire. The host unit is responsible for producing official and final perimeters for all incidents in their jurisdiction.

Hot Spot: The MODIS and VIIRS thermal layers are created from the MODIS satellite detection system and represents hot spots that could be potential fire locations in the last 24 hour period at a horizontal resolution of 1 km and temporal resolution of 1 to 2 days.

Wind Data (NOAA METAR): Typical METAR contains data for the temperature, dew point, wind speed and direction, precipitation, cloud cover and heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. A METAR may also contain information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other information.

Red Flag Warnings: Filtered from the Weather Watches and Warnings layer.
