Fire Danger Outlook

Worldwide fire danger outlooks offer valuable information for outdoor conditions.Our Fire Danger

Our Fire Danger Outlooks are based on an analysis of factors including:

Active Fire Data

Smoke Dispersion & AQI Forecasts

Real-time and forecast PM2.5 concentrations and AQI categories at
3km resolution — so communities, employers, and event organizers can
make timely decisions about outdoor exposure.

Our smoke model ingests satellite-detected fire radiative power, atmospheric
wind data, and boundary layer stability to produce 48-hour plume forecasts
updated every hour.

AQI SCALE

0–50

51–100

101–150

151–200

Satellite PM2.5 Validation

GOES-16 AOD data continuously calibrates our PM2.5 model, reducing errors by 40% vs. chemistry-only approaches.

Community-Level Resolution

3km grid allows zip-code-level AQI forecasts — actionable for schools, stadiums, and outdoor workplaces.

Push Alert Integration

Trigger automated alerts to employee apps, community systems, or public safety platforms when AQI crosses thresholds.

Built for Fire-Critical Operations

Whether you protect communities, assets, or ecosystems — our wildfire
intelligence integrates into your existing workflows.

Firefighting Agencies

Situational awareness dashboards with spread predictions, fuel moisture, and spotting forecasts to guide resource deployment.
