REAL-TIME SATELLITE DATA

Live fire detection from NASA FIRMS VIIRS sensors on NOAA-20 and Suomi-NPP satellites. Updates within 3 hours of satellite observation. Color-coded fire intensity indicators (Low, Moderate, High, Extreme).

PORTUGUESE CIVIL PROTECTION

Live fire data from Proteção Civil. Per-incident detail: firefighters, vehicles, aircraft deployed. Fire status tracking from first alert to resolution. Automatically activates when you're in Portugal.

PAN-EUROPEAN PUSH ALERTS

Server-driven push notifications anywhere in Europe. Inside Portugal: alerts powered by the ANEPC / ProCiv official feed. Elsewhere: alerts powered by Copernicus EFFIS. Configurable alert radius (5–200 km). Persistence guard: detections must be confirmed across two consecutive polls — fewer false positives.

CITIZEN REPORTS

Tap "Report fire" to submit a report with optional photo. Six fire categories: Wildfire, Building, Vehicle, Industrial, Agricultural, Other. Sign in privately with Google. 10-tier reputation ladder earned by submitting accurate reports.

FIRE SPREAD FORECAST

Predict how fires may spread using a scientific elliptical model based on Anderson (1983) and Alexander (1985) wildfire research. Time-stepped predictions at 1, 3 and 6 hours using real-time wind, humidity and soil-moisture data.

INTERACTIVE MAP

Standard, satellite and NASA VIIRS imagery views. Fire Weather Index overlay from Copernicus EFFIS. Burnt-area overlay. IPMA daily fire-risk map (Portugal). Live wind map powered by Open-Meteo.

STATISTICS

Active fires breakdown by country (FIRMS, Europe-wide). Detailed Portugal stats: severity, resources, fire types, status, top districts.

PRIVACY FIRST

No account required to view fires or receive alerts. Your location only leaves the device when push alerts are enabled. No third-party tracking or analytics.
