Satellite active-fire & thermal-anomaly data
NASA FIRMS
NASA Fire Information for Resource Management System
Near-real-time satellite-derived active-fire and thermal-anomaly observations from sensors including MODIS and VIIRS.
Locating satellite-observed thermal activity, exploring spatial patterns and creating time-stamped remote-sensing evidence.
A hotspot is not a final fire perimeter, an ignition point, a cause finding or an evacuation warning. Detection depends on sensor, overpass, cloud, smoke and spatial resolution.
