Wildfire Watch France
Live Fire Tracking & Alerts
$4.99
Track wildfires across France in real time, entirely on your iPhone.
Wildfire Watch France shows you satellite-detected fire hotspots and officially confirmed incidents on one live map, with the current status, estimated area, and fire intensity for each. Tap any fire for satellite imagery, wind-driven spread direction, and observed drift over time.
SHOULD I BE WORRIED?
Save your home, a family member's address, or anywhere else you care about, and get a straight answer: how close is the nearest fire, is it heading your way, and what does the fire-weather risk look like right where you are, not just for your whole region. Risk is computed from official government fire-danger bulletins where available, a validated fire-weather model otherwise, and never a fabricated average.
AIR QUALITY, INCLUDING WHAT'S COMING
See current air quality plus a 24-hour smoke forecast, so you know if the air is expected to get worse before it does.
ALERTS THAT MEAN SOMETHING
Get notified when a new fire appears near a saved place, when one is officially confirmed, or when wind puts a fire on a path toward you or somewhere you saved. Not generic push notifications, only when something actually changed.
BUILT TO RUN ON-DEVICE
There is no account, no sign-up, and no backend server. Every computation, from risk scoring to spread prediction, happens on your iPhone. Your saved places and location never leave your device.
Also included:
• A historical archive of past fires, not just active ones
• A national fire-danger outlook and 48-hour trend for the most at-risk region
• Vegetation context for each fire from official forest inventory data
• Full French and English support
• A companion Apple Watch app showing fire risk at a glance
Wildfire Watch France is an independent safety companion. In an emergency, always follow official instructions and call 112.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fires now appear on the map within seconds of opening the app, with a clear message while they load. Wind speed and spread direction were missing from many fire cards and are now filled in reliably. The Mac app opens in a larger window.
