Wildfire Tracking
Track active wildfires with CalFire and WFIGS data. Fire perimeters, progress updates, map and list views, and state-level filtering.
Availability, coverage, update frequency, and alert delivery vary by data source, region, subscription plan, device permissions, and service conditions. WeatherAI supplements official sources and is not an emergency notification service. For life-safety decisions, rely on your national weather service, local emergency management, and official warning channels. Fire perimeters and incident details come from agency feeds and can lag rapidly changing fire behavior. Evacuation decisions belong to local officials.
Real-Time Fire Intelligence
