22 October 2008: There are no fire data and MODIS image subsets today due to a hardware failure. We are currently working to repair the hardware. Please check the MODIS Rapid Response System website for more information and updates.
The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) integrates remote sensing and GIS technologies to deliver global MODIS hotspot/fire locations to natural resource managers and other stakeholders around the World. FIRMS is funded by NASA and builds
on Web Fire Mapper, a web mapping interface that displays hotspots/fires detected by the
MODIS Rapid Response System and delivers near real-time hotspot/fire information to international users and
support fire managers around the World. Read more...
FIRMS delivers MODIS hotspot/fire information through:
(i) Email and Cell phone text messages ( Global Fire Email Alerts )
(ii) Interactive WebGIS ( *NEW* Web Fire Mapper (Open Source Beta 1.0); Web Fire Mapper (ArcIMS) )
(iii) Latest hotspot/fire data downloads ( ESRI Shapefiles, Text Files, NASA WorldWind Plugin,
KML/Google Earth, OGC WMS )
(iv) Subsets of MODIS images
