Satellietdata is geen alarmsysteem. Bewolking en rook blokkeren het zicht: geen detectie betekent niet dat er niets brandt. Volg bij dreiging altijd de officiële kanalen (NL-Alert, 112) en lokale autoriteiten.

Welcome to FireWatch

This is heat, seen from space: satellites measure active fires across Europe, updated every 15 minutes.

Colour is intensity: from deep red (smouldering) to bright (very fierce). Click a fire for place, size and progression.

This is not an alert system: cloud and smoke block the view. In case of threat always follow official channels.
