- Wildfires | NASA Earthdata
Wildfire is an essential process connecting terrestrial systems to the atmosphere and climate As vegetation burns, it releases smoke, carbon, and other materials into the atmosphere These fires also release nutrients into the soil and are an integral part of ecological succession, plant germination, and soil enhancement
- Wildfires - World Health Organization (WHO)
Wildfire smoke is a mixture of air pollutants of which particulate matter (PM) is the principal public health threat PM 2 5 from wildfire smoke is associated with premature deaths in the general population, and can cause and exacerbate diseases of the lungs, heart, brain nervous system, skin, gut, kidney, eyes, nose and liver
- Wildfires in Izmir Province, Turkey | NASA Earthdata
NASA's true-color corrected reflectance image of wildfires burning in Izmir Province, Turkey, was captured on July 3, 2025, by the VIIRS instrument aboard the joint NASA NOAA Suomi NPP platform
- Wildfires Near Real-Time Data | NASA Earthdata
Fires can be set naturally, such as by lightning, or by humans, whether intentionally or accidentally Fire is often thought of as a menace and detriment to life, but in some ecosystems it is necessary to maintain the equilibrium, for example, some plants only release seeds under high temperatures that can only be achieved by fire, fires can also clear undergrowth and brush to help restore
- Wildfires in Los Angeles, California | NASA Earthdata
This false-color corrected reflectance image of fires in Los Angeles, California, including the Palisades, Hurst, and Eaton Fires, was captured on January 8, 2025, by NASA's MODIS instrument aboard the Aqua platform
- FIRMS | NASA Earthdata
The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) provides access, with minimal delay, to satellite imagery, active fire hotspots, and related products to identify the location, extent, and intensity of wildfire activity FIRMS tools and applications provide geospatial data, products, and
- Active Fire Data Attributes for MODIS and VIIRS - Earthdata
Attribute Short Description Long Description; Latitude: Latitude: Center of 1 km fire pixel, but not necessarily the actual location of the fire as one or more fires can be detected within the 1 km pixel
- VIIRS I-Band 375 m Active Fire Data | NASA Earthdata
What is the VIIRS 375 m Active Fire Product? The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) 375 m thermal anomalies active fire product provides data from the VIIRS sensor aboard the joint NASA NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and NOAA-20 satellites
