I am from Brazil. I was looking over the Amazon (Amazônia). I'm seeing if there really are more fires in the summer. I'm loving the program! Hugs from Salvador-Ba/BR!
Could you please explain how the VIIRS dataset features are in the csv format style? Can you tell me why these features are essential for a fire hotspot that spans 350 pixels square feet?
Yes, you can. You could sign up for an email alert for your region-of-interest at: firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/alerts/ We also encourage you to visit the FIRMS FAQs for fire detection caveats and other information.www.earthdata.nasa.gov/faq/firms-faq
I am looking for a way to do fire monitoring for each past week the coming year for a certain area. Is there a way to safe said area for later usage? Or do I have to redraw the area every time I open the program? The drawing was quite complicated so it would be great if such a feature existed. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your question Jules. Yes, users can save locations in FIRMS using the "location tool" (see blog: wiki.earthdata.nasa.gov/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=232136439) and use a custom version of Worldview Snapshots: firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/satellite-imagery/. That said, you can also set up an email alert for your area of interest using FIRMS at: firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/alerts/
Hi there, you can get the archived fire data in FIRMS at: Users can get this information from the FIRMS download archive. firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/download It will not be a table showing the status of fires, but rather the fire data. If they want stats, you could explore the European system gwis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/apps/gwis.statistics/
Hi Sarah, yes, you can use NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) to view wildfires. We just completed an updated webinar yesterday. I expect to have it online by tomorrow morning. In the meantime, you might want to visit the NASA FIRMS landing page at: www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/near-real-time/firms. To view global fires click on the global fire map.
I am trying to understand the difference between BRIGHTNESS2 and BRIGHTNESS. I can not find a resource for that, in the documents, it's Bright_ti4 and Bright_ti5. I can't figure out which one is which.
Hi Makul, Please see the attributes table www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/near-real-time/firms/vnp14imgtdlnrt#ed-viirs-375m-attributes. The FIRMS team will update the table to say BT and BT2 to make it more clear.
why MODIS and Wildland Fire Interagency Geospatial Services (WFIGS) Realtime fire events are not similar in terms of location ? They have completely opposite extent of recorded data
Thanks for sharing this knowledge. From 🇦🇴
You are welcome, we are glad that you find this tutorial useful for your work.

I am glad to hear that you are finding NASA's FIRMS useful for your work. Thank you for the feedback.
Thank you. I am just a science nerd, and I found this tool amazing.
That's great! We are all science nerds :)
i love the science of nasa thanks for this
thanks for this
Buenos días, ¿pueden decirme cuál es el área en hectáreas mínimas que se reportan?
Thanks 🙏
How big a fire must be to get noticed on this map?

Thank you for your guidance. I would like to get a map of fire pixel counts and smoke plume for East Asia. How to get it in FIRMS?
I'm missing right menu tab for current/history, basic etc !?
Why does the map revert, upon opening, to Sept 2022 when it's now July 26 2023?
Is there any way to get a list of all hot spots in a particular area?

how can i get a table of fire or no fire data of a year for a particular area

is there a way to only view wildfires through this site
