This interactive map, built with CARTO VL, displays active fire perimeters and their growth over time using synced data streams, providing insights into the speed of fire spread and geographic patterns. The map utilizes powerful visualization capabilities, including animations and dynamic UI elements, to display smoke plumes produced by fires from NOAA's Fire Products dataset. Viewport-based styling allows for a better understanding of fires at both national and localized levels, with the ability to zoom in on specific areas to highlight larger or smaller fires. A legend and hover/pop-up components provide additional information, including dynamic timestamps and acreage data, enhancing the user experience and providing valuable insights into fire patterns.
