## Firesource Description
Firesource’s features:
◦ Live fire feed - simply press refresh to instantly update your feed of fires on the map and in the scrollable menu  
◦ View national fire incidents - to be informed of bushfires and their progress, browse through the detailed incident updates and reports
◦ Report a fire - instantly inform other users of a nearby fire by pressing the + button, taking a picture of the fire, and submitting
◦ Air quality - see the effects of recent fires by viewing realtime air quality measurements across the country
◦ Satellite fire detections can indicate new fires and how current fires are spreading

National Fires:
Firesource presents bushfire incidents in real time, providing the fires’ locations and detailed status reports. Firesource collects incident data from most states in Australia, including New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia. The government agencies providing this data are the NSW Rural Fire Service, Emergency WA, Country Fire Authority, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, and South Australian Country Fire Service, respectively. 

User-Reported Fires:
Allowing app users to report a fire and immediately inform other users is an essential aspect of Firesource. To report a fire, press the yellow + button in the top right corner of the map, select the type of fire (vehicle fire, forest fire, terrain fire, structure fire), take a photo of the fire, and press submit. To ensure the validity of fire reports, the user must take a photo of the fire and cannot access Camera Roll to select a picture. Please note that submitting a fire report automatically creates the report at the user’s location, to further ensure that the fire is local and valid. When viewing user-reported fires in the feed, other users can ‘rate’ the fire report by confirming that it is active, contained, or a spam reporting.

Air Quality:
Air quality measurements from across Australia are collected from iqair.com, which provides air quality data using the Air Quality Index (AQI). This data is color-coded in the app to provide information about health concerns due to the air pollutants. 

Satellite-Detected Fires:
Thermal hotspot detections are displayed and collected from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which is an instrument on the Terra and Aqua satellites. Information provided from MODIS about each detection includes brightness (brightness temperature in Kelvin of a fire pixel) and confidence (quality of fire pixel). These fire detections are extremely useful, as they can indicate new fires and fire spread. Learn more about MODIS at their website:
