GOES Firewatch

Wildfire risk, translated into what to do about it.

Every weather app can tell you it's hot and dry. Firewatch computes a live Fire Weather Index — a recognized measure of wildfire danger — from current and recent weather, and pairs it with air quality and fire-season guidance for the region you care about.

Important notice
Not an official source

Firewatch is not an official emergency source and does not provide authoritative fire-incident, evacuation, or shelter information. For that, consult 112, Protección Civil, AEMET, and the responsible regional agencies (for example, INFOCAM in Castilla–La Mancha).
