Bordeaux
Bordeaux & the Gironde · France
Live wildfire-risk monitoring for Bordeaux and the Gironde.
Firewatch tracks fire-weather across Bordeaux and the surrounding Landes–Gironde maritime pine forest — the largest in Europe, and the scene of major summer fires. The Fire Weather Index is computed live from current and recent weather. Use it alongside — never instead of — Météo-France and 112.
Risks active right now
Checking live conditions…
Risks appear only when live signals cross a medically-validated threshold — wildfire from the Fire Weather Index, heat illness from feels-like temperature, breathing problems from air quality. Guidance authored by wilderness-medicine physicians. See the API →

Area, fires & monitored sites
The region, the sites we monitor, and any fires detected by satellite in the last 48 hours. Satellite detections are not official incident reports — for evacuation and incident information, consult 112 and civil protection.
Fire Weather Index
Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System (Van Wagner 1987). Weather compounds into three fuel-moisture codes and two behavior indices, which combine into the headline FWI.
Sub-indices are produced by the live computation. The headline is showing the modeled placeholder because the live weather fetch was unavailable.

Fire-season precautions
- 1During high-to-extreme fire danger, avoid open flame, sparks, and hot works outdoors — especially midday.
- 2Keep agricultural and forestry machinery off dry vegetation during peak heat; cured grass ignites off exhaust and blades.
- 3Before entering wildland areas, know two exit routes and a muster point, and carry water.
- 4Follow official weather warnings and any instructions from 112 and local authorities — they are the authoritative source.
- 5Sensitive groups: limit outdoor exertion when heat or smoke is elevated.
Everything on this page is one API call
Your weather signals in; a categorical risk score and physician-authored guidance out. Additive to what a weather platform already does — and grounded in medical authority it can't replicate.

Environmental data is everywhere. Outdoor health intelligence isn't.
GOES translates real-time environmental signals into medically validated risk intelligence, so your crews act before conditions become dangerous.
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).
Data is provided "as is" and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. It must not be relied upon for life-safety, evacuation, or operational decisions. GOES disclaims liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Guidance shown here is general information, not medical advice, and is not a substitute for professional medical care or emergency services.
The Fire Weather Index is computed using the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System (Van Wagner, 1987) from Open-Meteo weather data. Current conditions and air quality are from Open-Meteo. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
