About Our Mission
Fire Aware is dedicated to providing real-time environmental data visualization tools for communities affected by air quality changes. Our platform helps citizens, researchers, and government agencies make informed decisions about air quality management and public health.
What We Do
We aggregate sensor data from monitoring stations across regions and present it in an intuitive, interactive dashboard. Users can track AQI (Air Quality Index), PM2.5 particulates, and CO2 levels at a glance.
Why It Matters
Air quality directly impacts public health. Wildfire smoke, industrial emissions, and vehicle pollution create serious respiratory risks. With our platform, people can:
- Monitor local air quality in real-time
- Track trends over time
- Make informed decisions about outdoor activities
- Support policy advocacy with data
Our Values
- Transparency: All data is open and accessible
- Accuracy: We partner with certified sensor providers
- Community: We serve the public interest, not just profit
- Innovation: Continuous improvements to our tools and features

Launch the AppOur Mission, Built Around BC
Fire Aware exists because BC communities deserve better than reactive evacuation notices — we deliver hyperlocal, sensor-driven early warnings.
We're a small team of fire ecologists, atmospheric scientists, and software engineers based in the interior of BC. Our sensor mesh focuses on the wildland-urban interface, where seconds of warning translate into saved homes. Every release builds on community feedback from rural fire departments and First Nations partners.
