WILDFIRE AIR QUALITY — REAL-TIME DATA
Is the Air Safe Where You Are?
Real-time AQI data. Plain-language guidance. Clear next steps.
Wildfire Air Guide consolidates data from the EPA, NOAA, and PurpleAir into one free resource — then tells you exactly what the number means and what to do about it. No jargon. No paywalls. Just the answer.
About Us
We Built This Because People Deserved a Straight Answer.
During the 2025 LA wildfires, residents couldn’t find reliable, consolidated air quality information — even with multiple government tools available. Wildfire Air Guide was built to fix that gap. We aggregate EPA, PurpleAir, and NOAA data into one place, translate every AQI reading into plain-language guidance, and give you a specific next step — not just a number and a color.
We are a free public resource. No ads. No subscription. No commercial influence on our health guidance. We publish because accurate air quality information is a public health need — and because no one should be left guessing when the air they breathe is at risk.
