• Abstract: Climate change has largely impacted our daily lives. As one of its consequences, we are experiencing more wildfires. In the year 2020, wildfires burned a record number of 8,888,297 acres in the US. To awaken people's attention to climate change, and to visualize the current risk of wildfires, We developed RtFPS, "Real-Time Fire Prediction System". It provides a real-time prediction visualization of wildfire risk at specific locations base on a Machine Learning model. It also provides interactive map features that show the historical wildfire events with environmental info.
