NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) provides real-time and near real-time data on wildfire activity. Learn how to view satellite observations of active fires and hotspots on an interactive map; navigate between the basic and advanced modes; learn what a satellite-derived fire detection means on the ground and show you how to add data imagery layers so you can see fires and smoke plumes.
