      what's active fires measuring or how it is figuring what an active fire?

      i live in Indiana, near Chicago and it's showing several active fires....now those "fires" are steel mills and other major industrial plants that have massive flares giving off a huge heat signature. same with other areas in the country I know are steel mills....

        Clicking on “About these data” in the menu of the mobile app
        Or on the small i at the bottom right corner of the screen with the browser version,
        You get this information:

        Satellites do not distinguish between wildfires and industrial plants.
