Guidepole Fire: Wildfire Smoke

See the smoke plume overhead, the air you're breathing, and where it's headed — with a 24-hour forecast and free fire & smoke alerts. Fire season is here.

Wildfire smoke doesn't stay where the fire is. Guidepole Fire shows you the smoke and the air you're actually breathing — right now and for the next 24 hours — so you know whether to go outside, close the windows, or get out of town.

ONE MAP. EVERY LAYER THAT MATTERS. • Active wildfires across the US and Canada — size, containment, and perimeters, updated continuously. • The live smoke plume overhead, from NOAA satellites, plus a 24-hour smoke forecast you can scrub hour by hour. • Real-time air quality (EPA AQI) with a 24-hour AQI forecast — see it coming before it arrives. • Satellite hot spots (NASA FIRMS) for the newest ignitions.

ANSWERS, NOT JUST DATA. • "Where's this smoke coming from?" — tap anywhere and Guidepole Fire traces it to the upwind fire. • "Is my air safe right now?" — the current AQI in plain language, and what it means for you. • "When will it clear?" — a read on how the wind and weather will move the smoke out. • Or just ask — the built-in assistant answers fire, smoke, and air-quality questions for any spot.
