Earth Fire Map [NASA] - mklabgr - 08-03-2026
The NASA Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) is an interactive web mapping platform that provides near real-time global monitoring of active fires and thermal anomalies detected by NASA and NOAA satellites.
Users can explore current and historical fire activity, view burned areas, smoke and aerosol layers, weather-related fire hazards, and satellite imagery, while filtering results by time period, sensor (VIIRS, MODIS, Landsat), and geographic region. The platform also allows users to inspect individual fire detections, download datasets, and access fire alerts, making it a valuable resource for researchers, land managers, emergency responders, and the public.
NASA emphasizes that the data are satellite-derived estimates and should not be used as the sole basis for decisions involving the protection of life or property, as detections may also represent hot smoke, agricultural burning, or other heat sources rather than active wildfires.
