Maui Fire Map: NASA’s FIRMS Offers Near Real-Time Insights into Maui Wildfires

As wildfires persist on Maui, NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) plays a role in monitoring fire movements. By utilizing satellite data from MODIS and VIIRS, FIRMS offers real-time and standard fire products, aiding local authorities and emergency responders.

FIRMS’ Fire Map allows users to explore global active fire detections through MODIS and VIIRS data. Near real-time fire data is available within 3 hours of satellite passes, contributing to containment efforts. Imagery is accessible within 4-5 hours, providing a visual representation of the fire’s scope.

Users should be aware that the data is provided “as is,” with users assuming responsibility for its application.
