active_fires Read-only

Fire clusters detected by satellite over the last N hours (default 24), worldwide or filtered by ISO-2 country, bounding box, or a point with a radius. Returns up to `limit` clusters ranked by relevance (corroborated and recent first). Use for 'is there a fire near X right now' or 'wildfires in <country> today'. Each cluster: position, first/last satellite pass (UTC), detections per sensor, peak fire radiative power (MW), confidence (possible | probable | corrobore = cross-checked with witnesses).

fire_archive_search

Search kanari's archive of significant wildfires (since 2026-08-03): by ISO-2 country, date range or month, minimum detections or power, status. Each result has a permanent page URL (kanari.io/fr/feu/<slug>). Use for 'what fires happened in <country> in <month>', 'biggest fires this week', 'is the fire near X still active'.

fire_details

Full record of an archived fire by its slug (from fire_archive_search or a kanari.io/fr/feu/<slug> URL): timeline, detections per sensor, peak power, status, witness posts, first press article, aircraft observed on zone.
