About AFIS
Get the latest wild fire location and fire danger forecasts with the app that puts vital fire information at your fingertips. AFIS gives you access to fire danger forecasts, near real-time fire detections, historical fire reports and much more.
The Advanced Fire Monitoring System (AFIS) is a satellite-based fire information tool (afis.co.za) that provides near real-time fire information to users across the globe. The AFIS app integrates the various AFIS services in a fully-featured, easy-to-use mobile application.
Main features:
• Today's fire danger index displayed on a map for locations you define, including your current location.
• Fire danger forecasts based on daily numerical weather forecast inputs (e.g. wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity) and fire statistics for your locations, or wherever you drop a pin on the map.
• Satellite-detected real-time active fires displayed around your defined locations.
• Current vegetation “curing” or dryness relative to 14 years of satellite-derived vegetation greenness data.
• Detailed information about detected fires (e.g. intensity and time of detection).
• Fire history showing a location's fire events in the last 14 years in relation to historical vegetation curing using graphs, as well as statistics such as fire count, frequency and time since last burn.
• A fire danger calculator which allows anyone with access to weather information to calculate their own fire danger ratings based on their local measurements.
• Share observations of fire with the community by uploading geotagged photos to the AFIS Web Viewer. (Photos are available after being moderated.)
• A global map of fire counts for the last 14 years.
AFIS now provides global fire information, but if any data seems to be missing, please let us know at mobile-support@afis.co.za. Please note that land cover is only available for the United States and South Africa.

Has potential but consistently has error connecting to server so no data. Needs to be fixed and I would change rating to 5.

After initial load, data does not refresh at all. Map layers do, but fire data doesn't. Not very helpful when data only shows at a state level.

Web interface is better than the app. The underlying information is excellent, and would be worth 5 stars, but here I am rating the app, not the data.

Running a Samsung galaxy s7: cannot see the active fires in my area and often the search function freezes the app.i will change this to 5 stars if this can be rectified as this is one of the most amazing fire detecting apps out there.
