Predict wildfire danger and its impacts

[epitome76]

Problem Satellites can detect wildfires and the smoke plumes they create. Is it possible to use this to predict how dangerous a wildfire is or might become?

Proposed solution I propose to compare wildfire data with local winds, population density, soil moisture, precipitation, etc to create an index of how dangerous a wild fire is or might become. This could include the use of machine-learning.

Data (what data do you need? what format?) CAMS Global Fire Monitoring data, ERA5 winds / precipitation / soil moisture, population density, ....
