Fire in Europe

Fire in Europe sehr gutes Programm aus Robin Bollen

Release-Datum 7 years ago 1.1 version.
When you are living or travelling in Europe, you better check out this app.

Global warning has increased the risks related to nature fires. Before you go out on the road, you can check with this app, where the latest fires are detected by the NASAs MODIS and VIIRS satellites. Dont get trapped on the road in between fires, like what happend on June 18th 2017 to so many people in Portugal.

You can tap and hold on the pins to see the date and time the fire was detected by the satellite. When you hold and slide your finger to other pins close by it will update them dynamically. The pins are colored according the confidence level the satellite has about it being a real fire. The satellites pass over the earth 2 time per day, and their detections are broadcasted to our server 3 hours after flyover.

There are separate apps for the high risk countries; Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece which are cheaper, but if you plan to travel to more of these countries, this Europe version is cheaper.

Note that the app needs an internet connection to work, but roaming in the EU is now free, so EU tourists can also use it at will without international data charges.
