FIRMS delivers MODIS (1 km) and VIIRS (375 m) active fire locations in easy to use formats.
- The VIIRS 375 m active fire data are once again available in FIRMS. The underlying issue that
caused the spurious fire data has not yet been resolved but the FIRMS – VIIRS team have
developed a workaround which will enable us to start distributing the data again. The workaround
uses a threshold to remove data granules with excessive fire counts. In the unlikely event that
you notice rows of fires which look unusual, we recommend you disregard them. If you have any
questions or concerns, please email support@earthdata.nasa.gov with FIRMS in the subject line.
- In an effort to standardize VIIRS file names, the short name for VIIRS NRT 375 m product has
been changed from VNP14IMGT to VNP14IMGTDL_NRT.
