Where this data comes from

Perimeters come from EFFIS (Copernicus, CC BY 4.0) and municipal boundaries from geoBoundaries/Republic of France, Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications, Posts and Press Distribution (ARCEP) (Open Data Commons Attribution License 1.0). The area per municipality is computed by WorldFires by crossing both. The forecast is from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).
