Track Wildfires In The West

For those traveling west this summer, The New York Times has put together a map that includes active and recent fires from data reported by NASA FIRMS satellite-based fire detection system, which makes observations multiple times a day.

This map will be a powerful, day-to-day resource and tool as Bertha rolls along this summer.

In addition to the NYT map, local and state governments also have apps that have real-time or near-real-time updates and travel cameras for road conditions, updates, and closures.
