Effective immediately, consumers can get complete visibility into the perimeter of active fires and the quality of the air they're breathing at Breezometer.com. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, real-time fire updates will be available via the free BreezoMeter app, which provides precision air quality information within five meters/16.5 feet of a user's location. The app is available for iPhone and Android users.
BreezoMeter's Live Wildfire Tracking data is available to brands, governmental authorities and first responders via API.
Users will be able see exactly where a specific fire is at any moment, its distance and direction from their location, and its effects on the air quality around it. As the fire's movement changes, so does its perimeter. The visualization also lets users quickly view the total area consumed by the fire, its name, the wind's speed and direction, the estimated time of containment, and the time of the last update.
"As wildfires worsen, the public needs the same level of accuracy around fires that they've come to expect of rain, snow and other traditional weather forecasts," said BreezoMeter CEO Ran Korber. "Our new technology enables people to protect themselves by adjusting their daily lives without any fear or doubt that the information they're getting is reliable. It additionally gives companies the tools they need to adapt their operations and offerings, and authorities the real-time information they need to act quicker and smarter."
