WildFire-Ready is a free wildfire tracker and evacuation alert app for Western Canada and 18 western US states — from Alaska to Texas. See live fire maps, air quality, and evacuation alerts from official sources in one place. Bilingual, ad-free, and a companion to 911. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP WildFire-Ready is independently built. It aggregates publicly available data from official government sources, and every data point is labelled with where it came from. For official direction, always rely on 911 and your local authorities.
