I created a companion website to display various FireMap example outputs along with some additional detail you can check out here: [https://firemap.netlify.com/](https://firemap.netlify.com/) Compared to [heatmap.js](https://www.patrick-wied.at/static/heatmapjs/?utm_source=gh) and other heatmap libraries there are two major differences. FireMap uses a standardized GIS algorithm compared to heatmap.js and others that use a density equation of some sort? This was the primary reason for creating FireMap since I thought it would be advantageous to employ a deterministic algorithm. Secondly, due to the calculation intensive nature of FireMap it's not intended to be used in real-time, although, it does have said capability.
