Live wildfire and thermal-anomaly hotspots from NASA FIRMS (firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov, NASA open data): pixel-level VIIRS (375 m) and MODIS (1 km) near-real-time detections — the raw sensor data that disaster aggregators like GDACS and EONET do not include. Query by a coordinate radius or a bounding box; each hotspot includes brightness, Fire Radiative Power (FRP), confidence, day/night flag, and the exact acquisition timestamp.
Latitude for a radius search (with lon + radius_km); alternative to bbox. (-90–90)
Longitude for a radius search; alternative to bbox. (-180–180)
Search radius in km around the point for active-fire hotspots (1..1000). (1–1000)
Bounding box 'min_lon,min_lat,max_lon,max_lat' — alternative to lat/lon/radius_km (FIRMS area query).
Satellite sensor for fire detection. VIIRS (375 m resolution) gives the finest detail; MODIS (1 km) covers the longest historical record. All feeds are near-real-time (NRT) from NASA FIRMS.
Look-back window in days (1..10) for NRT detections. (1–10)
Minimum detection confidence (VIIRS low/nominal/high; MODIS percent mapped to the same bands at 30/80).
Minimum Fire Radiative Power in megawatts — filters out the smallest thermal anomalies. (0–100000)
Maximum records to return (1..1000). (1–1000)
