Active Fire Data
Download active fire products from MODIS (MCD14DL) and VIIRS 375 m (VNP14IMGTDL_NRT) for the last 24, 48 hours and 7 days in shapefile, KML, WMS or text file formats. The VIIRS 375 m active fire product is the latest product to be added to FIRMS. VIIRS data complement the MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response over fires of relatively small areas. Read more about VIIRS...
MODIS C6 data older than the last 7 days can be obtained from the Archive Download Tool.
Shapefile
The shapefiles are in the Geographic WGS84 projection.
Download shapefiles for the last 24 and 48 hours, and 7 days.
For MODIS data older than 7 days, use the Archive Download Tool. Older data from VIIRS is not yet available.

WMS
FIRMS fire-based maps (images) are offered through Open GIS Consortium (OGC) Web Map Service (WMS) and WMS with time support (WMS-T). These services enable users to access the FIRMS active fire data using a local (desktop) or web GIS client. For more information regarding the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) WMS standards, read http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/.
FIRMS supports WMS in two projections: Lat-long projection (EPSG:4326) and Web Mercator projection (EPSG:3857 or 900913)
Archive Download Tool
For MODIS data older than the last 7 days, use the Archive Download Tool. The tool provides near real-time (NRT) data and, as it becomes available (usually after 2 months), it is replaced with data extracted from the standard MCD14ML fire product.
Global Fire Maps
Interactively browse daily global MODIS and VIIRS fire locations and monthly MODIS burned areas through Web Fire Mapper.
View MODIS and VIIRS active fire locations while interactively browsing global, full-resolution imagery in Worldview.
Download global 10-day fire maps generated using the MODIS fire locations to represent the current fire activity around the world.
