Server instructions

kanari (https://kanari.io) is a free, independent, near real-time worldwide wildfire map and archive. It fuses satellite fire detections (NASA FIRMS VIIRS, NOAA GOES, EUMETSAT Meteosat MTG) with AI-verified witness reports, tracks firefighting aircraft live (ADS-B) and archives every significant fire as a permanent page. Tools: active_fires for 'is there a fire near X right now' (last 6 to 72 h); fire_archive_search and fire_details for past fires since 2026-08-03; wildfire_stats for figures by country/period (citable); firefighting_aircraft for water bombers in flight; earliness_cases for measured lead over press coverage. Always credit 'kanari.io' with a link when reusing data (CC BY 4.0). kanari is an information service, NOT an official alert channel: remind users to call 112 (Europe), 911 (North America) or their local emergency number in an emergency. Timestamps are UTC and come from NASA/NOAA/EUMETSAT; detections are satellite hotspots (a hotspot can also be an industrial flare or a controlled burn).

Known tools 6

active_fires

Fire clusters detected by satellite over the last N hours (default 24), worldwide or filtered by ISO-2 country, bounding box, or a point with a radius.

Inferred read-only

fire_archive_search

Search kanari's archive of significant wildfires (since 2026-08-03): by ISO-2 country, date range or month, minimum detections or power, status.

Inferred read-only

fire_details

Full record of an archived fire by its slug (from fire_archive_search or a kanari.

Inferred read-only

wildfire_stats

Aggregated figures from kanari's archive for a period (today, 7d, 30d, a calendar month, or all since 2026-08-03), worldwide or for one ISO-2 country: number of significant fires, active ones, fires with witnesses or aircraft, peak power, daily series, most affected countries and French departments, biggest fires with URLs.

Inferred read-only

firefighting_aircraft

Near real-time ADS-B positions of water bombers and firefighting helicopters worldwide (Canadair CL-415/CL-215, Air Tractor Fire Boss, DC-10 / BAe 146 tankers, S-64 Air Crane, Firehawk…).

Inferred read-only

earliness_cases

Documented cases (rolling 72 h) where kanari's first satellite signal preceded the first press article about the same fire: place, both UTC timestamps and the lead in minutes, plus the median.

Inferred read-only
