@earthos/plugin-wildfires

Active wildfire events for EarthOS from NASA EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker): keyless, CORS-open, curated from many satellite fire sources. Each event is a track; the layer plots its most recent detection as a fire-heat point through the shared GPU points pipeline in the rotating Earth frame.

Install

pnpm add @earthos/plugin-wildfires

Single-instance peer dependencies, provided by the host app: @earthos/globe, @react-three/fiber (v9), react (v19), and three (>=0.170).

Usage

<Layer
  manifest={() => import('@earthos/plugin-wildfires')}
  settings={{ status: 'open', days: 10 }}
/>

Click a fire for its title, last-detected time, and coordinates; search by name; the follow camera tracks it. Points are colored by recency (bright orange < 2 days, amber < 7 days, dimmer beyond) so fresh fires stand out — a fire-heat ramp distinct from the earthquake red and hurricane violet.

Settings

| Key | Default | Notes | | ----------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | status | open | active-only, or include recently-closed events | | days | 10 | only events with a detection in this window (1–60) | | pointSize | 7 px | | | color | #FF8A1E | fresh-fire color (older tiers derive from the heat ramp) | | endpoint | (blank) | custom EONET base URL |

Data source

NASA EONET v3. EONET curates natural events (wildfires, volcanoes, storms) rather than every thermal hotspot, so this is a clean overview layer, not a per-pixel fire-detection feed (that would be NASA FIRMS, which requires a free MAP_KEY). Keyless and Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *; polled every ~10 minutes.

See docs/PLUGIN_GUIDE.md for the layer contract.
