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)

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.

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.
