Earthquakes, volcano alerts and satellite fire detections in a bounding box, for display. Pass `bbox` [west, south, east, north] (WGS84), optional `types` (quake, volcano, fire; default all), `min_magnitude` (quakes, default 2.5) and `limit` (1 to 500, default 100). Earthquakes are USGS, magnitude 2.5 and above, past 24 hours, as reported (magnitudes and locations may be revised). Volcano alerts are USGS-monitored volcanoes ONLY: an absent alert says nothing about volcanoes elsewhere. Fire cells are NASA FIRMS VIIRS detections thinned to 0.5 degree cells: satellite-detected heat, NOT confirmed fires. Each feed carries `status` (ok, stale, unknown): pass a stale or unknown status on, never present old data as current. This is reported data for display, not a warning service and not safety-critical; keep that qualifier when you pass it on. Requires the MapMap gateway. Display the returned `attribution`, and for fire data the FIRMS `acknowledgment` and `disclaimer`.
