This site relies on data provided from a number of sources, including AirNow, the Western Regional Climate Center, AirSis, and PurpleAir for monitoring and sensor data, and the NOAA Hazard Mapping System and National Interagency Fire Center for fire and smoke plume information. Additional thanks to Jonathan Callahan, Desert Research Institute and many others. Correction equation work was led by Karoline Barkjohn, EPA. Development work led by Sim Larkin, USFS, and Stuart Illson, University of Washington, in collaboration with the EPA AirNow Team. Forest Service (USFS) led Interagency Wildland Fire Air Quality Response Program, led by Pete Lahm, USFS. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Ron Evans, and the U.S. This map is a collaborative effort between the U.S. When you click on a large fire incident icon (icon), now the fire perimeter will show on the map, (where perimeter data is available). The EPA has updated its scientific correction equation to provide more accurate sensor data.

The data on the AirNow Fire and Smoke Map are intended to help individuals make decisions to protect their health during fires.

The EPA and USFS will update the map layers several times during year, as we respond to feedback and work to improve the map. While these sensors don’t meet the rigorous standards required for regulatory monitors, they can help you get a picture of air quality nearest you especially when wildfire smoke is in your area. Fire and Smoke Map: The EPA and USFS have created this map to test new data layers of use during fire and smoke events, including air quality data from low-cost sensors.
