*A gust is a rapid fluctuation of wind speed with variations of 10 knots or more. Wind gusts are typically averaged over three to five seconds. Wind speeds are averaged over one to two minutes.
We work with the University of Wisconsin’s Space Science and Engineering Center to provide the fire-detection satellite map below. This tool helps communities plan and prepare for a potential fire response.
Use the map to view data as satellites monitor weather in your area from space.
The tool includes weather station information such as:

The information displayed on and available through this webpage is intended only to use as a tool to analyze and visualize data. It is not intended to be a decision-making tool and PG&E assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions. The data and modeling products of the map should never be used for reporting fires by the media, public or others, unless that information is provided by public safety officials.
You can use the map to search by location. Type your town, city or county into the search box and then select it from the drop-down choices. Any recent potential fire detected in your area will appear on the map. Select the fire for incident details. You may apply additional filters (see below) to include in your local view.
Choose one or more of the filters listed below. Once a filter is applied, click its icon on the map for more information. You can combine results from all satellite filters to get the most information.
Satellites and active perimeters
Cameras and views
Additional filters
*Default filter
GOES-16 and GOES-18 satellites
The GOES-16 and 18 satellites rotate with the earth and always view the same area of the earth's surface. They provide new images every 5 minutes, at most. These satellites rapidly detect fire and track a fire over its lifetime.
MODIS and VIIIRS satellites
These satellites take high-quality pictures of the earth's surface. They typically take a snapshot only a few times a day. Because they're more sensitive than GOES satellites, they can detect smaller fires.
Fire perimeters
Perimeters for large, recent fires are displayed in near real-time and updated daily. Visit GeoMAC for more information.
Cameras
Cameras monitor high fire-risk areas. Select a camera icon to see the camera's view. Arrows show which direction the camera is facing.
Weather stations
Weather stations vary in the type of information collected. One may report wind only, while another may report temperature. Select station icons to view data.
CAL FIRE incidents
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) responds to California fire emergencies. CAL FIRE posts details for the major incidents on their website. Our map includes icons for the major fires reporting less than 100% containment. Visit CAL FIRE for official information.
Red Flag Warnings
Red Flag Warnings are declared by the National Weather Service. This happens when warm temperatures, low humidity and strong winds could lead to fire danger. Apply this filter to view areas currently under a Red Flag Warning. Visit the National Weather Service for official warning information.
All fire detections
This lists all recent potential fires detected within California. It includes:
Select a fire icon to view details for the incident. The type of detail will vary, depending on which satellite is reporting. Some possible details include:
