Fire Danger Outdoors

Fire Danger Outdoors is your essential forest fire safety app, delivering real-time fire danger forecasts for your exact location in Sweden using GPS technology.

Stay informed about wildfire risk whenever you venture outdoors. The app provides hourly fire danger updates covering the next 48 hours, plus a five-day forecast so you can plan activities safely. Whether you're planning a campfire, barbecue, or outdoor adventure, you'll know the current conditions before you go. Fire danger data comes directly from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), ensuring accuracy you can trust.

Beyond live forecasts, Fire Danger Outdoors gives you the tools to assess risk comprehensively. View multiple forecast layers on an interactive map—including forest fire spread risk, fuel dryness levels, and grass fire danger—all updated hourly. Search any location across Sweden and save your favorite spots as Favourites for quick access. This means whether you're checking conditions at home, at a cabin, or planning a trip to a new area, critical safety data is always at your fingertips.

Local fire bans can change rapidly, and the app's ban-checking function ensures you stay compliant before lighting any fire. Wind is a major fire accelerant, and the app reminds you to monitor weather shifts carefully. But fire risk extends beyond traditional campfires—off-road vehicles, chainsaws, and other equipment pose genuine hazards during high-danger periods.

Education is built into the app. Access videos, FAQs, and expert guidance on safer fire-lighting techniques for forests and open ground. These resources empower you to make informed decisions and reduce your personal fire risk during spring and summer when danger peaks.

The Swedish Civil Defence and Resilience Agency (MSB) designed Fire Danger Outdoors specifically for private individuals who care about outdoor safety. Quick updates every hour mean conditions are always current, and the intuitive interface makes checking fire danger as simple as opening the app. Whether you're a regular camper, weekend barbecuer, or occasional outdoor enthusiast, Fire Danger Outdoors keeps you aware and prepared.
