About The WFCA Fire Map
The Western Fire Chiefs Association (WFCA) Fire Map is a near real-time situational awareness platform for wildland fire across the western United States and Alaska, built for fire chiefs, dispatchers, the press, and the public.

What you can see, right now:
- Active incidents and perimeters — official IRWIN incident records and federal FEDS perimeters, with growth tracking and containment status.
- Live 911 dispatch calls for fires, medical, and other emergencies via PulsePoint.
- Multi-satellite heat detection combining polar-orbiting (VIIRS, MODIS, Landsat thermal) and geostationary (GOES ABI, 5-minute refresh) sensors, plus AI-confirmed detections that fuse multiple inputs for higher resolution.
- Smoke and lightning observations and short-range forecasts.
- Early perimeter and 3-hour spread forecasts for California fires via FIRIS.
- Live firefighting aircraft — tankers, helicopters, and reconnaissance, filtered to a maintained allowlist of wildfire-tasked tail numbers.
- Live fire cameras from ALERTCalifornia, ALERTWest, and partner networks.
- Fire weather context — Red Flag warnings, Storm Prediction Center fire-weather outlooks, wind, and humidity.
- Satellite imagery including GOES GeoColor true-color and VIIRS Fire Bands composites for visual confirmation of active fire and smoke.
Every layer is toggleable, color-coded by recency and confidence, and links to incident detail panels with growth history, dispatch info, and live conditions. Deep links work for any state, any fire, and any viewport — bookmark or share a URL and the map opens to the same view.

Fire dispatch and location data are approximate, and no representation or warranty is given as to the timeliness, accuracy, or completeness of the data.
