Wildfires in Seine-Saint-Denis today

What is burning right now in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis (Île-de-France, France), from NASA satellite detections. Updated every 15 minutes.

Are there wildfires in Seine-Saint-Denis right now?

The list above answers that question with what NASA satellites have detected over the last few hours in Seine-Saint-Denis. If it is empty, no hotspots have been detected — which is not a guarantee that there is no fire, because the satellites only pass a few times a day and a smoke column under cloud can go unseen. If you can see flames or smoke, call 18 or 112 even if nothing appears here.

How do I know if a fire is getting close to where I am staying in Seine-Saint-Denis?

Knowing there is fire «in the area» does not tell you whether to worry. What you need is different: how many kilometres away the nearest hotspot is from your place, in which direction, how hard it is burning there, and whether it is spreading towards you. That means marking the place on the map: from then on, the distance is measured from your point and not from the centre of the region.

1. Open the map and mark the place that matters to you: your house, your hotel or your village.
2. Choose the alert radius. If you are in woodland, leave a generous margin.
3. Turn on alerts: a phone notification, or by email if you would rather not install anything.

No sign-up needed, and your coordinates never leave your phone.

What to do if there is fire nearby

1. Follow the authorities. If they order an evacuation, leave immediately and do not go back for things.
2. Get the essentials ready before you need them: documents, medication, water and a charged phone.
3. If dense smoke arrives, go inside, close doors and windows and switch off ventilation.
4. Warn neighbours, especially older people or anyone living alone.
5. Call 18 or 112 if you see flames or smoke that do not appear to be attended to already.

Where this data comes from

From NASA's VIIRS (375 m pixel) and MODIS (1 km) satellites, which detect the heat of wildfires several times a day, and from official emergency services when they publish open data. Each square on the map is a real satellite pixel: the colour shows the intensity of that specific area, and squares with a recent signal look brighter than those that already burned.

Two limits worth knowing. A 375 m square cannot resolve streets or houses: a marked square does not mean everything inside it burned. And no dots does not mean the fire is out, because the satellites only pass a few times a day.
