Maker

Last year I started working with data from Earth observation satellites. One day in late 2020 when the California sky was red with smoke, I got the idea to do an app about fire spotting. I released Firespot 1 at the tail end of last fire season, with data from the ESA's infrared fire detection satellites. This year I expanded the app to include data from the NASA and NOAA's satellites, as well as fire management and perimeter data from fire departments around the U.S. The app is free, with a paid alerts service. Set an inner and outer radius of interest, and Firespot will notify you when fires start or spread in your area.

Looks really good. Tried the code PRODUCTHUNT and it didn’t work though.

This is an amazing app. What you set out to do with this project is very honorable. As a firefighter myself I respect the intention. I am very happy that this app is a success, that it works as well as it does and that people are using it. People like you make our lives better and safer. I have been a firefighter for 6 years. In this time I have had the privilege to risk my life to save the lives of others. I know the dangers of fire firsthand. That is why everyone who decides to fight fires in any way that they can get my utmost respect. If you are not an entrepreneur or a developer and you want a meaningful job, become a firefighter and undergo pearson vue practice tests.
