Seasonal fire intelligence — where this season sits, and what is ahead.

In development · public tier expected 2027

thefiretower translates validated fire-science research into a consistent, always-available resource for agencies, industry, media and the public.

The Bureau of Meteorology publishes weather. Emergency service apps publish live incidents and warnings. Neither answers the question people actually ask each summer: how does this season compare, and what is coming?

This is not an emergency service. It carries no live incident data, no warnings and no evacuation information. For emergencies, always use your state emergency service. Every product here states when it was last updated.
