FireFringe

Wildfires are becoming bigger, more intense, more destructive, and more frequent. We want to make the world a safer place, so we put the power of 21st Century wildfire detection in the palm of your hand.

• We use MODIS and VIIRS satellites to spot, map, and track blazing wildfires around the world.
• We use two NRCAN layers to visualize detected fire and fire perimeters across Canada.
• Control the sensitivity of MODIS and VIIRS blazing fire detection filters yourself.
• We update blazing fire detection around the world twice a day to keep you aware and safe.
• Check detections from previous months – handy for planning your next wilderness hike or canoe trip.
• Not sure you have the latest detections in app? You can update the detections on demand.
• Worried about friends, family, or property in a remote location? Use the search feature to check for blazing fires.
• Worried about your campsite? Use our GPS tool, see your position and spot any blazing fires nearby.
• Need to raise the alarm? Share blazing fire detections on social media, text message, or email.
• Want to report a fire? We show you the location of each blazing fire detection and NRCAN perimeter.
