Get Wildfire Data by Place
Retrieves real-time wildfire data for a specific location by place name. Returns wildfire incidents from the last 7 days including both satellite-detected fires and officially reported fires. Each record includes precise location coordinates, detection time, fire intensity metrics (FRP, FWI), fire category, and confidence level. Use this tool when you need to: - Check for active wildfires in a city, state, or country - Monitor fire activity in a specific geographic area - Get recent wildfire detection data without knowing exact coordinates - Filter fires by type (satellite-detected vs officially reported) The API searches within a geographic area around the place name provided. More specific locations (e.g., "San Francisco, CA") return more localized results than broad queries (e.g., "California").
