In plain language
NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System, which distributes near-real-time active-fire and thermal-anomaly data from satellite sensors.
Why it matters
NASA FIRMS is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
