Description
The FIRMS distributes near real-time fire data within 3 hours of satellite observations. NASA FIRMS has two independent platforms, FIRMS Global and FIRMS US/Canada. The program primarily uses data from the NASA Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS system (LANCE), which is part of NASA’s Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS).Additional Program Notes & TCS Insights
FIRMS Global was initially developed at the University of Maryland with funding from NASA Applied Sciences to provide wildfire data to firefighters and support staff worldwide. It was transitioned to NASA’s Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) in May 2010 and became formally operational in LANCE in May 2012. FIRMS US/Canada is a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Forest Service and provides data to support strategic wildland fire monitoring and response by the interagency fire management community and to inform the general public.Appropriations
