Inspiration

With Canada's recent wildfire problems we wanted to create a tool to make sure you are aware of your surroundings so you know how and when to evacuate when necessary.

What it does

FireWatch is an app intended to warn you about nearby fires for you and your family or friends.. It also lets you create a list of available items needed for crisis response, using AI recommendations and suggestions for action plans

How we built it

We used Windsurf, as well as FIRMS a NASA API to find wildfires around the world. Using geoJSON to mark these hotspots on a map and send the user reports.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges regarding our backend with setting up geoJSON objects with the coordinate and location data

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We worked together and got a lot done in a short period of time for a very frontend and backend heavy app given the timeframe.

What we learned

We learned many things about AI, what it can do, and how we can use it for full effective vibe coding.

What's next for FireWatch

FireWatch is just a fun idea we decided in the moment.
