Nasa fire map

On Earth, something is always burning.

FIRMS tools and applications provide geospatial data, products and services to support the broader fire management community, and to inform the general public. Global data are available within 3 hours of satellite observation; U. C61 processing does not contain any change to the science algorithm; the update is from changes and enhancements to the calibration approach used in the generation of the Terra and Aqua MODIS Level 1B products. For further details on C61 calibration changes and other changes user is encouraged to refer to the pdf summarizing Collection 6. The VIIRS data complement the MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the m data provides a greater response of fires over relatively small areas and has improved nighttime performance.

Oct 27, Orange pixels show as many as 10 fires, while red areas show as few as 1 fire per day.

Wildland fires — uncontrolled fires that occur in areas of combustible vegetation — are an essential process that connects terrestrial systems to the atmosphere and climate. But their effects can also be disastrous to the communities in their path, in both the short and long-term. During a fire there's poor air quality, loss of life and loss of property, while after a fire the burned areas are more prone to floods, debris flows, landslides and poor water quality. Climate change has led to longer fire seasons, as vegetation dries out earlier and persistent high temperatures allow fires to burn longer. The Disasters program area uses Earth-observing data and applied research to support decision-making for local response agencies before, during and after a fire.
