Continental United States WMS MODIS Fire Detections: Current | Historical WFS MODIS Fire Detections: Current | Last 7 Days

WMS and WFS Access:
The links below provide connection strings to OGC web map services (WMS) and web feature services (WFS) for MODIS fire-related products. WMSs provide access to a georeferenced image of a map for viewing only while WFSs provide streaming geographic features that can be queried and analyzed. Both types of services can be ingested in GIS client applications that support OGC WMSs and WFSs. AVHRR and GOES fire-related products are currently not provided by the Active Fire Mapping Program as WMSs and WFSs.
