A free app for real-time wildfire monitoring

Firemap – Live Wildfire Map is a free app for keeping tabs on wildfires in the United States. It aggregates data from the National Interagency Fire Center and other sources to produce maps of wildfires that are close to real time. You can use the app to monitor wildfires near you and in other parts of the country.

With Firemap – Live Wildfire Map, users can gain a visual representation of the size and composition of wildfires in the US. The data provided also helps users to see which way wildfires may be headed, so this is a utility program that has a safety purpose. No historical data is provided – this is just for current wildfire activities.

How do you track fires in real time?

Looking at the digital map provided by the app, all you need to do is spot red dots. Each red dot on the map represents a current wildfire. Tap on one to view further details per the last update. The app will zoom in, allowing you to see its size and how much of it has been contained.

National coverage

If you are only interested in wildfires in the US, this app provides up-to-date information that is close to being live. For wildfires in other parts of the world, you can try Waterbomber Wildfire Tracker. For information on other natural phenomena, take a look at Volcanoes & Earthquakes instead.

Live wildfire information from a free utility app

Since Firemap - Live Wildfire Map is restricted geographically, it is more focused than some global apps. However, the lack of international data, even from neighboring North American countries, means that it lacks something. It is useful if you live within proximity to where wildfires frequently occur.

  • Pros

    • Simple to use
    • Clear map layout
    • Near real-time functionality
  • Cons

    • The lack of maps outside of the US is a shame

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
