In the context of fire prevention and forest management, "INFOCAL" typically refers to the

SIMB (Sistema de Información y Monitoreo de Bosques): The official government platform for real-time satellite fire tracking.

This article explores what the Infocal map is, how it functions, and why it is vital for fire management and prevention strategies.

The phrase "mapa incendios infocal" refers to two distinct but highly relevant technical systems used to monitor and manage wildfire emergencies. One is the INFOCAL Plan

Official Tool: The SIMB Interactive Map is the official authorized source for tracking heat sources (focos de calor) and forest fires in Bolivia. Key Features:

El Mapa Incendios Infocal ofrece varios beneficios a los profesionales de la gestión de incendios forestales, investigadores y al público en general. A continuación, se presentan algunos de los beneficios más destacados:

  1. Active Incidents (Red Markers): These are ongoing fires. Clicking on a marker reveals the fire’s name, acreage, containment percentage, and the date it started.
  2. Perimeter Maps (Polygons): The most valuable feature. Instead of a single point, you see the actual shape of the fire. This allows you to see exactly how close the flames are to specific roads, towns, or your property.
  3. Evacuation Zones: During major events, CAL FIRE overlays mandatory evacuation orders and warnings directly onto the map. You can enter an address to see if it falls under a red (evacuate now) or yellow (get ready) zone.
  4. Air Quality Data: Integrated layers show the drift of smoke plumes, helping asthmatics and vulnerable populations plan their day.

If you are looking for actual interactive maps to track current fires (often searched for alongside "INFOCAL"), these are the primary authoritative sources:
