★ ★ ★ Firesource Overview

       

What is Firesource? Firesource is a mobile app that provides real-time updates on local and national fire incidents. It features a live fire feed, fire perimeters, air quality measurements, satellite fire detections, and the ability to report a fire instantly. The app is only available for iPhone and iPad in the United States, Canada, and Australia.



Software Features and Description

1. Perimeter data is provided by the Wildland Fire Interagency Geospatial Services (WFIGS) Group and hosted in the National Interagency Fire Center ArcGIS Online Organization (The NIFC Org).

2. To report a fire, press the yellow + button in the top right corner of the map, select the type of fire (vehicle fire, forest fire, terrain fire, structure fire), take a photo of the fire, and press submit.

3. When viewing user-reported fires in the feed, other users can ‘rate’ the fire report by confirming that it is active, contained, or a spam reporting.

4. Allowing app users to report a fire and immediately inform other users is an essential aspect of Firesource.

5. Firesource displays fire perimeters and descriptions of their progress in the ‘National Fires’ tab of the menu, with this information updated on a regular basis.

6. Please note that submitting a fire report automatically creates the report at the user’s location, to further ensure that the fire is local and valid.

7. To ensure the validity of fire reports, the user must take a photo of the fire and cannot access Camera Roll to select a picture.

8. Information provided from MODIS about each detection includes brightness (brightness temperature in Kelvin of a fire pixel) and confidence (quality of fire pixel).

9. Air quality measurements from across the United States are collected from AirNow.gov, which provides national air quality data using the Air Quality Index (AQI).

10. These fire detections are extremely useful, as they can indicate new fires and fire spread.

11. InciWeb collects wildfire incident data from several agencies across the United States and provides all of this data together in several feeds.
