About the application:

A lot of firefighters have been entrapped due to rapid changes in weather causing unexpected fire behavior. These weather happenings are often predictable using local weather measurements and forecasts, but on-the-ground firefighters have historically lacked access to this info. The Fire Weather Alert System provides this access. It monitors nearby weather observations and forecasts to warn firefighters of risky incoming weather and provides convenient map-based access to fire-specific weather info (RAWS, NWS place fire weather forecasts, NEXRAD radar data, etc.).
