Wind & Fire Pocket Monitor

Stay a step ahead of changing conditions. Wind & Fire Pocket Monitor blends live wildfire proximity, air-quality, and wind direction into a clear risk overview you can check in seconds.

See what’s nearby, why it matters, and how it’s moving — all on a beautiful, fast iOS interface.

Why people like it • Simple “at-a-glance” risk — A single card summarizes today’s situation for your saved places. • Nearest fire & distance — Know how far the closest incident is and where it’s headed. • Air Quality (AQI) — Track AQI for multiple places and follow the hourly trend. • Wind compass & gusts — Instantly see speed, direction, and whether the wind blows toward you or away. • Reasoning you can trust — A “Why This Risk” panel explains the score (gusts, wind alignment with fires, AQI, etc.). • Interactive map — Visualize fires, smoke and wind layers together on Apple Maps. • Place chips — Pin locations (home, work, family) and jump between them with a tap. • Privacy-minded — Location is optional and stays on device unless you allow it for forecasts.
