All Against The Fire!

We use different sources of data to notify you of active fires in your areas of interest.

We also maintain an archive of the documentation of the fires. There, those who have been affected by fires can provide information and thus help, for example, to investigate the causes of each fire.

We are neighbors who at some point have been forced to put out intentional fires in the forest of our town, or we had to pack our bags because the fire surrounded our houses, or the fire has devastated our farms, or that this simply affects us.

These intentional fires are common in Spain, where this initiative comes from. And this happens because not everyone is against forest fires: there are many interests and motivations, more than you can imagine.

In the north of Spain, usually humid, when the weather conditions are favorable, the arson fires multiply. This situation sometimes causes the emergency services to collapse and so they cannot turn up to all of the fires. So the neighbors have no choice but to organize themself.

The arsonists are conscious of these saturations, so their fires are very effective. The information that is sent from different individuals to the emergency services is not announced to people willing to act nor to those that are in danger, they are completely defenceless.

In the broken orography of our area, a fire can reach your back quite quickly. So the early and public detection of fires is crucial, especially when we have little means to combat them.

We imagine that there are digital tools of this type that our emergency services use, but they are not public, at least not here. This encouraged us to develop these tools.

In addition, according to friends from other latitudes, these problems also take place in their countries, so we have translated it and shared it with everyone as Free Software these tools.
