Real-time satellite wildfire monitoring & fire-risk for Algeria — NASA FIRMS + Fire Weather Index, on an interactive map. # Algeria Fire Map **Real-time satellite wildfire monitoring for Algeria** — live fire detections, intensity, history replay, and fire-risk by wilaya. 🌍 **Live:** www.algeriafiremap.site Open source · MIT licensed · Built with NASA FIRMS, Open-Meteo & OpenStreetMap Fire-weather risk (FWI) by wilaya · live fires over satellite · mobile, map-first UX --- ## What it does An interactive national map that shows where Algeria is burning, right now — and how dangerous conditions are. - **Live fire map** — active-fire detections from NASA FIRMS (VIIRS 375 m + MODIS), updated through the day, glowing by intensity (fire radiative power). - **Confirmed only** — we keep high-confidence detections with FRP ≥ 15 MW, filtering out low-confidence noise and small agricultural burns, so the map shows real wildfires. - **Fire detail** — tap any fire for power (MW), confidence, detection time (Algeria local), satellite, and the **place** (town · wilaya · daïra) via reverse geocoding. - **Timeline replay** — scrub or play back the last 5 days and watch fires appear and spread, with an activity histogram. - **Most-affected wilayas** — live ranking; tap to fly there. - **Fire-risk (FWI)** — per-wilaya fire-danger from the Fire Weather Index, computed from live Open-Meteo weather (the same index EFFIS uses). - **Map styles** — Dark, Satellite (Esri), Light. Algeria's border is highlighted and neighbours are dimmed to keep focus on the country. - **Bilingual labels** (Arabic / French), **mobile-first UX** (bottom sheet + thumb-zone controls), and multilingual SEO. We operate on **fire-prone northern Algeria** — the Sahara is display-only, since its persistent FIRMS detections are mostly industrial gas flares, not wildfires. ## Architecture ``` NASA FIRMS ─┐ Open-Meteo ▼ ▼ ┌──────────── FastAPI (Railway) — all APIs ────────────┐ │ /fires /place /risk · Redis cache (ETag) │ └──────────────────────────┬── …
