## Description

Track wildfire activity in near real-time on a single, layered map. Fireguard pulls data from NASA, NOAA, NIFC, NWS, and other authoritative sources so you can see what's burning, where it's headed, and how conditions are changing.

WORLDWIDE LAYERS
• Satellite hotspot detections from Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20, NOAA-21 (VIIRS 375 m) and Terra (MODIS 1 km)
• Satellite ground-track overlays showing upcoming sensor passes
• Low-confidence hotspot filter to reduce false positives

UNITED STATES LAYERS
• GOES geostationary fire detections
• Active fire perimeters and WFIGS interagency boundaries
• InciWeb incidents, wildland dispatch reports, and new-start ignitions
• ICS-209 large-incident tracking with assigned resources
• Satellite-derived emerging fire polygons
• Cal Fire California incidents
• Crowdsourced initial-attack reports (NAPSG) with push notifications
• NOAA smoke plume areas
• Red Flag Warnings, Fire Weather Watches, and SPC Day 1 Outlook
• Dry thunderstorm risk areas
• Air Quality Index (AQI) monitor stations — PM2.5 and ozone
• Live fire camera feeds (ALERTCalifornia)
• Real-time traffic conditions

INTERNATIONAL LAYERS
• Canada active wildfires by province (NRCan CWFIS)
• Australia NSW Rural Fire Service major incidents
• Europe, Mediterranean, and Middle East fire perimeters (EFFIS)

DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
• No account, login, or subscription required
• Monitor up to 3 map areas at once — pick a city or use your current location
• Tap any marker or polygon for a detailed breakdown with source links
• Toggle layers on or off to build the view you need

Anyone in or near a fire-prone area — residents, first responders, ranchers, travelers, or people watching out for family — gets a clearer picture of what's happening, faster.
