In partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, a <a href="https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/">FIRMS US/Canada map service</a> was launched in January 2021.</p><p>FIRMS was developed in 2007 by the University of Maryland, with funds from NASA’s Applied Sciences Program and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO), to provide near real-time active fire locations to natural resource managers that faced challenges obtaining timely satellite-derived fire information.</p><p>A version of FIRMS, known as the Global Fire Information Management System (GFIMS) ran at the UN FAO from 2010–2012, where it complemented the FAO’s existing suite of projects that deliver near real-time information to ongoing monitoring and emergency projects, to other UN organizations as well as providing information to the general public. GFIMS is no longer actively supported.</p><h3>FIRMS US/Canada</h3><p><a href="https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/">FIRMS US/Canada</a> provides the USDA Forest Service, partner agencies, and the general public access to tools and data to visualize and monitor the location, extent, intensity, and impacts of wildfire activity in the U.S. and Canada. The source of low latency satellite imagery, science data products, and enabling technologies to FIRMS US/Canada include: the NASA Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EO (<a href="/data/projects/lance" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="54a7b74e-8492-40d8-a54e-b0a4e21a2990" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="LANCE">LANCE</a>) and other partners. Data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (<a href="https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/">MODIS</a>) and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (<a href="https://www.jpss.noaa.gov/viirs.html">VIIRS</a>) are the foundational satellite data sources of the current FIRMS US/Canada application. Additional geospatial data and information from various agencies are also integrated to provide context for current/recent wildfire activity. Sources for these additional data include the National Interagency Fire Center, Department of the Interior Office of Wildland Fire, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Weather Service, Canadian Interagency Fire Centre, and Natural Resources Canada</p><p>FIRMS US/Canada builds on a longstanding partnership between NASA and the Forest Service. In 2001, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, (GSFC) and the University of Maryland (UMD) developed the <a href="https://eospso.gsfc.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/eo_pdfs/Sept_Oct01.pdf#page=8">MODIS Land Rapid Response System</a> to provide time-critical, science grade data products to the Forest Service and other users. That same year, the Forest Service implemented the <a href="https://fsapps.nwcg.gov/afm/">Active Fire Mapping (AFM) Program</a> to ingest near real-time data from the, now decommissioned, MODIS Land Rapid Response System to produce and disseminate value-added geospatial fire products. AFM since evolved to leverage and ingest MODIS and VIIRS satellite direct readout data and the NASA LANCE MODIS/VIIRS data stream.</p><p>FIRMS US/Canada is a joint NASA/Forest Service effort to modernize and optimize the legacy AFM Program data and product delivery capabilities that have provided imagery and geospatial fire products for the United States and Canada since 2001. The initial release of FIRMS US/Canada was launched in January 2021 and provides an updated platform for delivery of near real-time satellite data products as well as mapping and visualization capabilities. Data from additional near real-time satellite sources and other technical capabilities are also planned for the FIRMS US/Canada application after the initial early-2021 release.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane " id="tab-119799-2"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--122940"> <div class="paragraph__column"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text-content field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><h3>MODIS Active Fire Products</h3><p>Each MODIS active fire/thermal hotspot location represents the center of a 1km pixel that is flagged by the algorithm as containing one or more fires within the pixel.

The VIIRS data complement the MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response of fires over relatively small areas and has improved nighttime performance. <a href="/data/instruments/viirs/viirs-i-band-375-m-active-fire-data" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="26d4d8f6-c4db-4c15-8775-7c42d29412ea" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="VIIRS I-Band 375 m Active Fire Data">Read more on VIIRS active fire products</a>.</p><p>VIIRS NRT 375 m active fire products are from: Suomi NPP (<a href="/data/catalog/lancemodis-vnp14imgtdl-nrt-2" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="0da408a4-ca32-4cc0-a4af-caf345de5020" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="VIIRS (S-NPP) I Band 375 m Active Fire Product NRT (Vector data)">VNP14IMGTDL_NRT</a>); NOAA-20, formally known as JPSS-1 (<a href="/data/catalog/lancemodis-vj114imgtdl-nrt-2" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="ee885dca-e2bd-4204-b803-f5fe5cc3e125" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="VIIRS (NOAA-20/JPSS-1) I Band 375 m Active Fire Product NRT (Vector data)">VJ114IMGTDL_NRT</a>); and NOAA-21, formally known as JPSS-2 (<a href="/data/catalog/lancemodis-vj214imgtdl-nrt-1" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="48153e51-1556-435d-90b2-97981c4e4762" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="VIIRS (NOAA 21) I Band 375 m Active Fire Product NRT (Vector data)">VJ214IMGTDL_NRT</a>).</p><h3>Active Fire Data Attributes for MODIS and VIIRS</h3><p>View <a href="/data/tools/firms/active-fire-data-attributes-modis-viirs" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="7dd761b1-4799-4bc4-a919-90a433fca0ff" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Active Fire Data Attributes for MODIS and VIIRS">data attribute tables for NRT MODIS active fire data and NRT VIIRS 375m active fire data</a>.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane " id="tab-119799-3"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default paragraph--id--122941"> <div class="paragraph__column"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text-content field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><h3 id="user_guides">User Guides</h3><p><a href="https://viirsland.gsfc.nasa.gov/PDF/VIIRS_activefire_User_Guide.pdf">Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 375 m Active Fire Algorithm User Guide</a> (Updated July 2018)</p><p><a href="https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/imported/MODIS_C6_Fire_User_Guide_B.pdf">MODIS Collection 6 Active Fire Product User's Guide, Revision B</a> (Updated December 2018)</p><p><a href="https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/imported/MODIS_Fire_Users_Guide_2.5.pdf">MODIS Collection 5 Active Fire Product User’s Guide, v2.5</a> (Updated 31 March 2013)</p><h3>FIRMS, Active Fire, and Burned Area Publications</h3><p>The publications listed below describe FIRMS, the MODIS Active Fire and Burned Area Products, and explore the level of accuracy of the products.</p><p>Read about FIRMS in the Earthdata article <a href="/news/feature-articles/wildfires-cant-hide-from-earth-observing-satellites" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="4a6633a4-e3a6-493c-8ada-375c724767a1" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Wildfires Can't Hide from Earth Observing Satellites">Fires from Space</a>, and how near real-time MODIS fire detections are used in NASA's Sensing Our Planet publication <a href="/news/feature-articles/orbiting-watchtowers" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="45fa2573-7ecb-411b-8514-626d50baea3b" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Orbiting Watchtowers">Orbiting Watchtowers</a>.</p><p>Giglio L., Schroeder, W., & Justice, C.O.
