Live Wildfire Map
A worldwide wildfire map built from NASA satellite fire detections.
Live in production
Wildfire is an operational reality in Alberta. This system ingests active-fire detections from NASA FIRMS satellite feeds, filters them by detection confidence, clusters millions of points at the database layer and serves an interactive worldwide heat map that stays responsive on a phone in the field.
What’s inside
- Continuous ingestion of satellite active-fire detections
- Confidence gating to suppress static heat sources and false positives
- Database-side clustering so the map scales to millions of detections
- Interactive map with zoom-dependent detail
- Runs unattended — scheduled ingestion, no manual steps

What it proves: we can take a raw public satellite feed and turn it into a fast, reliable geospatial product — the same pattern applies to any operational data your business watches.
