What you're seeing: smoke plumes are drawn by NOAA satellite analysts
(Hazard Mapping System)
several times a day from GOES imagery — light plumes are often high aloft and may not affect ground-level
air quality (the home page's AQI shows what's actually breathable). Fire points are automated GOES/VIIRS/MODIS
hotspot detections; named incidents are staffed US wildfires from the national
interagency system (WFIGS).
Canadian fires appear as satellite detections and smoke but not as named incidents — see CWFIS below.
