Earth Fire Alliance is a global nonprofit coalition building the technological infrastructure needed to detect, monitor, and understand Earth’s wildfires — and delivering critical data to the firefighters and scientists who need it most. [ABOUT US](/about-efa) ### A Global Challenge #### Scale #### 4 out of 5 of the world’s worst wildfire years occurred since 2020. #### Safety ##### 40 ## % population growth in wildfire-prone areas. ## Health ##### 1.5 ##### M+ deaths annually from wildfire pollution, disproportionately affecting low-income countries. ##### Climate ##### 8 ##### B tons of carbon emitted by wildfires from 2024 to 2025. ## Economy ##### $ ##### 215 ##### B in global assets exposed to wildfires from 2024 to 2025. ## OUR MISSION Purpose-built technology and community-driven action for wildfire resilience. Every $1 spent on wildfire mitigation generates $4 in avoided losses. ##### Observe Our planet’s fires comprehensively. ##### Serve Communities worldwide with timely and trustworthy fire information. ##### Conserve Ecosystems, protect lives, and strengthen resilience by making critical fire data globally accessible. ##### Observe Our planet’s fires comprehensively. ##### Serve Communities worldwide with timely and trustworthy fire information. ##### Conserve Ecosystems, protect lives, and strengthen resilience by making critical fire data globally accessible. Firesat Built with and for the global wildfire community. Developed in close collaboration with 200+ firefighters, incident commanders, and scientists, the FireSat constellation delivers frequent, high-resolution data at the speed and scale fires demand.

Through innovations such as FireSat we can ensure that our firefighters have the best chance to deal with fires while they are smaller. This will mean safer firefighters and safer communities.” PETER MCKECHNIE, AFSMDEPUTY COMMISSIONER, STRATEGIC CAPABILITY, NEW SOUTH WALES RURAL FIRE SERVICE. "Globally, wildfires are increasing in size and severity, impacting lives, communities, critical infrastructure, and watersheds at alarming rates and at significant costs. Earth Fire Alliance will fundamentally change our management approach and response to wildfire.” CHRISTOPHER ANTHONYFOUNDER & CEO, FIREWERX; FORMER CAL FIRE CHIEF DEPUTY DIRECTOR. “New data streams are going to be revolutionary for fire incident management and what's shareable in near real-time. And, globally consistent troves of new data for nearly every fire on Earth will create a chronological record of wildfire and related shifts on the planet. This is so important for science and research to help us understand fire behavior as wildfire regimes change.” GENEVIEVE BIGGSPROGRAM DIRECTOR, WILDFIRE RESILIENCE INITIATIVE AND SPECIAL PROJECTS, THE GORDON AND BETTY MOORE FOUNDATION. ### Latest News [EFA News October 22, 2026 #### Introducing the FireSat Calibration and Validation Campaign Read More](https://earthfirealliance.org/news-article/introducing-the-firesat-calibration-and-validation-campaign/) [Article MIT Technology Review October 19, 2026 #### Inside the quest to combat Arctic fires and save the planet’s frozen carbon Read More](https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/10/19/1146832/inside-the-quest-to-combat-arctic-fires-and-save-the-planets-frozen-carbon/) [Video Fox News October 5, 2026 #### CAL FIRE reviewing new images from fire detection satellites Watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL3Oetxp1So) [EFA News October 5, 2026 #### At Climate Week NYC, experts anticipate a living map for forest fire action Read More](https://earthfirealliance.org/news-article/at-climate-week-nyc-experts-anticipate-a-living-map-for-forest-fire-action/) [Article Gizmodo October 2, 2026 #### How a New Satellite Constellation Is Rewriting the Rules of Early Wildfire Detection Read More](https://gizmodo.com/how-a-new-satellite-constellation-is-rewriting-the-rules-of-early-wildfire-detection-2000813833) [Video ABC News October 1, 2026 #### How satellites and AI are changing the fight against wildfires Watch](https://abcnews.com/video/136929070/) ### Get Involved [##### PARTNERS Be part of the global coalition building the wildfire dataset to help protect lives, communities, and ecosystems.
