The San Francisco Chronicle has developed a California fire map that allows people to see in near real-time where wildfires are burning in the state. Of some important interest, past wildfires also show up, so a good understanding of trends and conditions can be realized.
Active fires can be selected, and an animated map will show the evolution of the fire, including the start date, acres burned, containment, and the responding agencies. For people that live in the WUI, this is an important and valuable wildfire preparedness and response tool.
