How does WILDFLAMES detect wildfires?

WILDFLAMES uses NASA FIRMS satellite data including VIIRS 375m and MODIS 1km sensors to detect thermal anomalies and active fire hotspots in real-time across the globe.

What is AI fire spread prediction?

Our AI uses ConvLSTM deep learning models to predict fire spread direction and intensity over the next 24 hours based on wind, humidity, vegetation (NDVI), and terrain data.

Is WILDFLAMES free to use?

Yes, WILDFLAMES is completely free, ad-free, and requires no login. We believe wildfire information should be accessible to everyone.

Which regions does WILDFLAMES cover?

WILDFLAMES provides global coverage of active fire detection including North America, South America, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia.

What satellite data does WILDFLAMES use?

WILDFLAMES uses NASA FIRMS data including VIIRS (Suomi NPP and NOAA-20) at 375m resolution and MODIS (Aqua and Terra) at 1km resolution for fire detection.

Can I export fire data from WILDFLAMES?

Yes, you can export visible hotspots as GeoJSON for use in GIS applications. Click the Export button in the bottom toolbar.

Does WILDFLAMES work offline?

WILDFLAMES is a PWA (Progressive Web App) that caches map tiles and works offline. Install it on your device for offline access.

What is FRP in fire detection?

FRP (Fire Radiative Power) measures the energy released by fires in megawatts (MW). Higher FRP indicates more intense fire activity.

How accurate is the AI fire prediction?

Our AI model uses ConvLSTM neural networks trained on historical fire data. It's currently in BETA and provides directional predictions based on weather and vegetation conditions.
