About FirePulse: Wildfire Alerts GR

FirePulse — A live picture of wildfires in Greece, 24/7.

🛰️ SATELLITE DETECTIONS
• NASA FIRMS: thermal hotspots across the country, color-coded by freshness.
• FireHub (National Observatory of Athens): active hotspots in near-real-time (~5 min).

🚒 OFFICIAL SOURCES
• Active incidents from the Hellenic Fire Service (in progress / partial / full control).
• 112 alerts: verbatim evacuation messages on the map, with push notifications even when the app is closed — plus navigation to the safe destination when one is issued.
• Daily Civil Protection fire-risk map.

🌬️ WIND EVERYWHERE
• Real measurements (meteo.gr stations, airport METAR) at every hotspot, at your location and at the map center — because in a wildfire, wind is everything.

☁️ SPREAD ESTIMATE
• Tap a fire's location in a covered area and see estimate zones for the next 6 hours — from the scientific ELMFIRE model (15 scenarios), using real wind, terrain and the national fuel map.
• An automatic estimate — NOT a prediction. Never a basis for evacuation decisions; always follow 112 and the authorities.
• Coverage in the most fire-prone areas — continuously expanding across Greece.

🎯 WHERE IS THE FIRE?
• See smoke on the horizon? Aim at it with the camera — the app estimates its location over the terrain and shows it on the map, with distance in km.

📷 CITIZEN REPORT
• See smoke or fire? Aim with your camera and send — the location is estimated automatically from your aim over the terrain.
• After an automatic image check, it appears on everyone's map as an "unconfirmed" pin for 2 hours.
• Your photo is NEVER published and is automatically deleted after 30 days. No sign-up, no personal details.

🆘 SURVIVAL MODE
• Opens automatically when an active fire is near you.
• Shows whether the wind is pushing the fire toward your area.
• Flashlight, rescue whistle, 112 call, "I'm OK" SMS to your contacts, official safety instructions.

🗺️ MORE
• Alarm-sound alert when a fire approaches your saved places (home, summer house).
• Live road traffic, weather webcams, source filters, offline map with the latest data.

⚠️ FirePulse is an INFORMATIONAL tool and does not replace the authorities. In an emergency, ALWAYS call 112.
