What's in the app — wildfire awareness for Western North America, deepest in BC and Alberta

Built for North America's wildfire corridor: live wildfire map across Western Canada and the western US, WatchTower for any saved place, WildFire-Ready briefings, smart alerts, evacuation alerts, aircraft over fires, Fire Guard preparedness, and a companion web dashboard. Deepest coverage in BC and Alberta.
The application covers Western Canada and 18 western US states: live wildfires, evacuation alerts, and fire weather from Alaska to Texas, with its deepest coverage in BC and Alberta, where WildFire-Ready was born. Every layer is sourced from the agency that publishes it, and coverage keeps expanding as the community and support grow. US fire data comes from official agencies including the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), the National Weather Service, and InciWeb, plus state emergency-management agencies such as California OES, Oregon OEM, and Arizona DEMA. Features include: a live wildfire map with active fires, perimeters, satellite hotspots from NASA FIRMS, AQHI air-quality markers, road closures, fire-district overlays, and per-fire wind arrows; WatchTower for pinning any place and receiving a tower-level briefing with weather, Fire Weather Index codes, terrain, fires in radius, road closures, air quality, and active fire bans; WildFire-Ready briefings in Public mode for homeowners and Tactical mode using NRCan FBP fuel-type lookup with CWFIS Fire Weather Index codes and ECCC weather for CFFDRS-bracketed rate-of-spread reasoning; smart push alerts opt-in by category; live evacuation orders and alerts from EmergencyInfoBC, Alberta Emergency, and Alert Ready in Canada, and from US state emergency-management agencies; aircraft over fires within roughly fifty kilometres of an active fire, with no-drone reminders; Fire Guard preparedness with FireSmart-aligned checklists, a seasonal knowledge library, and an evacuation-kit builder; and a companion web dashboard at wildfire-ready.app with precipitation radar, GOES smoke, lightning, and Sentinel-2 burn scars.
Companion to 911. Government feeds can be delayed or incomplete. Always confirm critical details with the authoritative source before acting, and in an emergency call 911.
