During fire season, I pay attention to Watch Duty ([https://www.watchduty.org/](https://www.watchduty.org/)), for the US, but where else should we be looking for real-time information?

FirEUrisk also has an app, but I’ve not tried it. ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uah.fireurisk&hl=en&pli=1](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uah.fireurisk&hl=en&pli=1))

Are there similar apps in other parts of the world? Do we need more?

Not maybe the most end-user friendly, but NASA FIRMS is a good near-real-time source of fire incidents. [https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/](https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/). It also has an email alert system that you can subscribe to for areas of interest.
