What's new

siteA new logo: the G of GISFire, in flames, in the browser tab and on the installed app.

mapA reported fire shows the time it started, read from the article, instead of the publication time.

siteThe home page flight gets its former globe back, smooth while scrolling, and no longer lands on a factory.

dataSteelworks and offshore platforms no longer count as affected areas.

mapThe real map loads behind the home page: scrolling flies its globe down to a fire, and the live map button opens it without changing page. On phones too, in 2D.

mapIn 3D, aircraft and helicopters grow to their real size as you zoom in. Following an aircraft frames it closely in a single flight; the mouse wheel or the slider at the top sets the distance, from the 3D model to the whole city.

mapIn France, 3D buildings have their real outline and height.

dataA large fire's page gives its burnt area measured on Sentinel-2 images, next to the detected footprint.

mapMajor building and industrial fires are shown too, with their own label and colour, next to wildfires.

mapClicking a reported fire opens the fire's page.

dataFire danger: the official European index, today and up to nine days ahead; each day is picked with one click.

dataDrought: soil moisture or the combined drought indicator, with the date of the data.

dataOfficial burnt areas of the season, worldwide, as soon as you zoom in on a region.

mapThe last 24 hours panel shows the area it counts, and shows fire power behind the detections, hour by hour.

mapThe map on a fire's page covers the whole fire period, opens on its peak and replays the entire fire.

mapAll layers follow the area chosen at the top right, wind, air quality, clouds, carbon and aerosols included.

mapFires worldwide show up faster, including right after a satellite pass.

mapOn a computer with a modest graphics card, the map opens in 2D and lowers its resolution on its own if it slows down.

dataPermanent heat sources such as industrial sites, and false detections at sea, no longer count as fires.

mapOn the globe, each aircraft keeps the colour of its type, the same as up close and in the panel.

mapIn replay, aircraft follow smooth paths, and the tracking thumbnail on the home page shows them in 3D, seen from behind.

dataSatellite images before and after the fire now reach many more fire pages: in France from 50 hectares, fires known from the press included, plus large fires across Europe and the world.

mapThe bubble of a tracked fire shows a small satellite view of the place.

mapA thin dark outline keeps fires readable under fire danger and drought.

dataAffected areas are recalculated in one minute instead of five, without failures, and areas in Europe and France are no longer pushed out by the world ranking.

mapThe News banner only keeps the fires kept on the map, and hides when there are none.

siteOn this page, older versions are folded: one click opens them.

mapAffected areas detected by GISFire and the official EFFIS ones are chosen on the same line of the panel.

dataNew fires are grouped into fire events again and get their page back.

mapOn the globe, a reported fire on the far side of the Earth no longer shows up in the middle of the ocean.

mapThe bubble of a reported fire opens upwards when it sits low on the screen: its satellite view no longer slips under the timeline.

mapFires no longer go missing from part of the map when many layers are on.

mapA fire the press reports as contained is shown as such, and leaves the map two days later.

mapAt night, when water bombers do not fly, aircraft tracking no longer shows a false alert.

mapFires come back after switching to 3D, and the map no longer slows down after many switches between 2D and 3D.

mapA globe when zooming out, terrain when zooming in: Mapterhorn elevation (IGN LiDAR in France), hillshade, sky and haze. The 3D terrain switch flips without reloading the page, and the flat map stays one click away.

mapWind now covers the whole world, hourly over seven days then every three hours over one hundred days, from NOAA's GFS model. Streaks are thinner and pause when the map is left alone.

mapA Day and night layer darkens the half of the world that is in night at the timeline's instant, twilight included.

dataCarbon emissions: the carbon burnt by fires day after day, per 0.1 degree cell, from Copernicus CAMS (GFAS), in blue so as not to be confused with the fires.

dataSmoke aerosols: the optical depth of organic aerosols, analysis and five-day forecast every three hours, from Copernicus CAMS, as a transparent veil that keeps the fires visible.

siteA "Contact us" button in the map panel and in the footer opens a form: feedback, a request or an error to report, with an anti-robot check. The message reaches the team directly.

mapEach layer carries its symbol, its gradient and a tooltip saying what it shows. The bottom-right legend is gone.

mapA smoke plume's passage opens as a bubble on the clicked point, and only when a plume really passes there.

mapOn phones, the map is lighter and smoother.

siteThe home page's first screen changes: a new title, the map's layers scrolling beneath it, and the SARO and Gistin signature.

mapThe map's opening screen keeps only the thank-you and the loading progress. Who makes GISFire is stated on the home page.

mapFires are visible at every zoom level, up to the whole world.

dataA "Download the data" button on every fire page and on the map: one fire, an area or a season, delivered as an archive with the invoice and a download link valid for 30 days.

siteSign in with a password, a code sent by email or a Google account, as you prefer.

siteA My account page gathers your data purchases, your subscription and your sign-in methods.

dataA zone can be drawn on the map, as a radius, a rectangle or a free outline, to choose exactly the area of the data to download.

dataArchives are delivered in six formats of your choice: GeoJSON, CSV, KML, Shapefile, GPX and XLSX.

siteThe FAQ now answers questions on buying data (prices, formats, thirty-day delay, licences), the account and signing in, and every page carries a title, a description and a share preview in its own language.

dataThe number of rows in each dataset is shown before payment.

mapDrop activity, the smoke plume, air quality, lightning strikes and firebreaks are public, with no account and no subscription.

dataDownloading happens on the map, in three steps, with no account needed.

siteA single subscription, GISFire Pro, with no commitment: 25 monitored zones, email and SMS alerts, webhooks, API key, 5 users and data downloads included.

ProThe subscriber space gets simpler: six modules, zones, alerts, health and smoke, aircraft, severity and reports (summary and exports), plus the account (API keys).

siteA home page that takes off: the real live map under the title, the last-24-hours detection counter, a flight over the day's fires, then the proof on real screenshots and a Meteosat time-lapse of one day of fires in Gironde.

siteThis version log, with its RSS feed, and the version number shown at the foot of every page.

ProEach module of the subscriber space opens in a central window over the map, sits on the map while you work there, or goes full screen while you read. The choice is remembered.

mapSigning in happens from the map itself: a button in the toolbar, an entry in the menu and a reminder under the Pro box.

siteThe plans and the comparison table now live on the home page.

A subscriber space built on the public map: a rail of icons opens each module (zones, alerts, fires, aircraft, terrain, health, sketch, severity, Europe, reports, account), each with its own address. The app installs on the home screen and can notify as soon as an alert fires.

A fire's own page: replayable successive outlines, activity over time, drops, nearby lightning, damage severity measured from satellite imagery and help toward finding the cause.

An aircraft's own page: 3D track colored by altitude, drops numbered on the map, rotations, flight hours and fires served that day.

A municipality or other administrative area can be monitored in one click, with notifications explained in a single sentence and a documented OGC API for integrations.

The stakes exposed around a zone: healthcare facilities, schools, campsites, Seveso sites, energy infrastructure and population.

Operational terrain and tactical sketching: deployed resources, the wildland-urban interface, buildings under the plume, shareable tactical symbols and KML export.

Air effort figures for every tracked fire: number of drops, aircraft rotations and an indicative spread at 1, 3 and 6 hours.

mapA signed-in subscriber sees their monitored zones, water bomber tracks and lightning strikes directly on the public map, without switching screens.

mapSatellite detections, clustered fire events, smoke, wind and water bomber tracking are no longer limited to Europe, with a dedicated page for every country at high risk.

siteThe map, the FAQ, the about page, the fire list and fire pages are available in French, English, Spanish and German.

dataLightning strikes detected by geostationary satellites appear on the map, a useful clue for understanding what started a fire.
