There is now a global wildfire tracking website using open source satellite data.

@ExtinctionR I guess this is a better website for this matter https://firemap.live/
In the US use only Watch Duty if you're in a fire danger zone (watchduty.org). I had to evacuate from a fire last year and used Watch Duty intensively. It's by far the best tool in that situation. They're a nonprofit and they don't collect or sell user data. Firefighters use it.

@ExtinctionR vibecoded ai slop.
This is a pretty slick, efficient, and effective user interface to world wildfire data. The presentation of the data is visually appealing, delivering a compelling message about the realities of global warming. I give it a 10/10.
@ExtinctionR How many wildfires were there before? I have no idea but I do know they didn't ruin my air quality for weeks every summer living in Chicago.
@ai6yr 👆🏼 this is right up your alley. Open-source wildfire tracking. 👀
@ExtinctionR thanks. I think.
We have become supremely good at measuring our inaction and reflecting it back at ourselves
