Some places matter to you but are too far away to check every day. Your parents' house, a weekend farm, a cabin, a campsite.
FireNear watches them for you.
It reads NASA satellite observations (FIRMS VIIRS 375m) and alerts you when a heat source is detected within the radius of a place you registered.
■ How it works
1. Add a place to watch. Drop a pin on the map or enter coordinates directly.
2. Set the alert radius, anywhere from 5 km to 100 km.
3. When a heat source is detected inside that radius, you get a notification telling you the direction and distance.
■ Features
· Watch up to 10 places
· Per-place alert radius (5-100 km)
· Pick locations on a map, with nearby hotspots shown as you browse
· Distance, bearing, confidence and observation time for every hotspot
· Open any hotspot location in your map app
· English and Korean, with dark mode
· Works anywhere in the world
■ Important: please read
What this app reports is a heat source detected by satellite. It is NOT confirmed to be a wildfire.
Steel mills, power plants, agricultural burning and solar reflection can all register as heat sources.
· This app is not an official emergency alert from any government or fire authority.
· Satellites pass overhead only a few times a day, so detection can lag hours behind an actual fire.
· Heavy cloud cover can prevent detection entirely.
· For any real emergency decision, including evacuation, follow your local fire service and official alerts.
Treat this as a reason to go check on a place, not as a precise early warning system.
■ Privacy
The coordinates you enter are stored only on your device. Nothing is sent to or collected by a server.
No account, no sign-in.
Location permission is used only when you tap "Use current location" - the app never asks just because you opened it.
■ Data sources
