The Challenge | Spot That Fire V2.0

Your challenge is to create an application that leverages NASA's near-real-time and archival wildfire datasets along with other tools to support firefighting and fire mitigation efforts. This challenge builds on last year’s challenge of the same name by calling for innovative ideas and apps that focus on how to engage and enable citizens to assist with the entire firefighting and fire mitigation process.

Excuse me while I burn the sky

Localized fire prediction/model. We used NASA satellite data and created a model to predict movements of existing fires.

- Purpose: Help firefighters and civilians be safe from unpredictable changes in fire direction

- Used: NASA FIRMS, NASA EONET

- Challenges: fire prediction complexity= how do fires spread?, integrating different parts our project, how to convert abstract concepts into concrete products
