Google is rolling out a wildfire-mapping tool for Search and Maps today. The tool uses satellite data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It’s been in the works for about a year and will be rolled out in California and Colorado later today. Google’s engineering VP Yossi Matias says he’s been pushing for more emergency-response features in Google Search for years. The feature is a tool for first responders stuck battling wildfires in California in the coming years, and could be useful for just about everyone.”]
