Algeria Fire Map (BKFire) · Non-profit community wildfire map
Algeria Fire Map is a community situational-awareness app for wildfires in Algeria. It is not an official service of Civil Protection, the General Directorate of Forests, NASA, Apple, or any government agency.
If you create an account we store your Algerian phone number, an optional display name, a one-way password hash, and your telecom carrier derived from the phone prefix. When you report, confirm, or resolve a fire we store the coordinates you submit, wilaya, timestamps, and an anonymous device identifier used only to prevent duplicate votes. If you grant location permission, the app reads your position while it is open to centre the map and pre-fill a report pin. We do not collect email, contacts, photos, advertising identifiers, or location in the background.
Phone number and password authenticate your account. Location and fire reports display community incidents. The device identifier prevents the same device from confirming or resolving the same incident twice. We do not sell data, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.
Fire reports (coordinates, status, confirmation counts, optional descriptions) are visible to other users because that is the purpose of a public community map. Account credentials are not shared. We do not share personal data with advertisers.
Account data is kept until you delete your account in Settings → Delete Account. Deletion removes your user record immediately. Fire reports remain on the public map without your phone number attached.
The app is not directed at children under 13. Do not create an account if you are under 13.
