An internet mapping tool that displays near-real time active fires using data from the MODIS Rapid Response System - developed to serve active fire data to the broader natural resource management community for whom accessing and processing satellite data is costly and time consuming - displays active fire data approx 4 hours after the satellite over pass. Four daily fire observations. - customized interactive maps can be viewed and queried for selected regions and countries - by combining active fire data with local information (such as protected areas and settlements) you can get an overview of fire activity in your area
