Where this data comes from

Perimeters are official, from MTBS (USGS and USDA Forest Service) and NIFC, in the public domain; county boundaries come from geoBoundaries/United States Census Bureau, MAF/TIGER Database (Public Domain). The area per county is computed by WorldFires by crossing both. The forecast is from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).
