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 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
Wildfire Suppression | NASA Earthdata Working in conjunction with specially designed firefighting aircraft, these wildfire-trained crews suppress flames, construct firelines, and extinguish flames and areas of heat to protect resources and natural wilderness Wildfire suppression also addresses the issues of the wildland-urban interface, where populated areas border with wildland
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
Wildfire Detection in the US and Canada Within a Minute of Satellite . . . This is the first routine service provided by FIRMS for detecting wildfires over the continental United States from NASA and NOAA low-Earth orbit satellites with a latency of less than 60 seconds from Earth observation to wildfire detection
Discover Enhanced Wildfire System Capabilities with NASAs FIRMS The features of the Advanced mode support wildfire practitioners and emergency response personnel who require additional information and context to inform active fire management and tactical wildfire response (including the ability to refine the active fire detection temporal search range to hourly and sub-daily [+10 minute] increments)
LANCE | NASA Earthdata To access active fire hotspot data, maps, and alerts, the Fire Information for Resource Management System provides access, with minimal delay, to data and imagery that helps users identify the location, extent, and intensity of wildfire activity Download LANCE NRT data from the following instruments and platforms:
FIRMS FAQ | NASA Earthdata The USA Active Fires layer includes wildland fire incidents from the Integrated Reporting of Wildland Fire Information (IRWIN) integration service that meet the following criteria: valid Wildfire (WF); Prescribed Fire (RX); and Incident Complex (CX) records that have not been declared contained, controlled, or out, have not had fire report
