Summary

Abstract: The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) integrates remote sensing and GIS technologies to deliver MODIS hotspot/fire locations to natural resource managers and other stakeholders around the World. FIRMS is funded by NASA and builds on Web Fire Mapper, a web mapping interface that displays hotspots/fires detected by the MODIS Rapid Response System delivering near real-time hotspot/fire information to users to support fire managers around the World.

[Summary provided by the University of Maryland.]

Description: The Web Fire Mapper WMS (version 1.1.1) offers Open GIS Consortium standard Web Map Service interface. Using the Web Fire Mapper WMS, you can allow your local (desktop) or web GIS clients to access the Web Fire Mapper data without accessing the Web Fire Mapper Website.
