@BurritoSommelier@techhub.social Yes, I agree! I have been trying to work that one out too. If someone has somehow registered them as a prank, it's a pretty sick joke.

@deano@mastodon.online @BurritoSommelier@techhub.social "Our wildfire tracker uses data from NASA's VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) satellite instruments. These satellites detect thermal anomalies indicating active fires and provide wildfire data updated multiple times a day to emergency managers, firefighters, and the public." This is way over counting. One actual fire can show up as hundreds or thousands of points on the map.
