Coverage and known gaps
The maintained public state of official incident-source coverage for every UK fire and rescue service area.
What the states mean
- Working
- A suitable configured public source has passed the maintained operational checks. This does not mean the service publishes every incident.
- Partial
- A usable source exists, but publication, timeliness or retrieval limitations mean some relevant incidents may be absent.
- Unavailable
- No dependable automated official incident source is currently available to Wildfire Watch for that service area.
- Unknown or not checked
- The service cannot currently establish a coverage state. The governed launch register does not intentionally publish an unknown entry; if validation is missing, the area must not be presented as working.
Coverage is not a guarantee that every fire will be reported or detected. A source can change or fail after review, and absence of an official report or satellite detection does not mean there is no fire. If you see smoke or flames, or there is immediate danger, call 999 and follow emergency-service advice.
