How to read this page
How to read the fire-detection count
United States has 2,521 fire detections from satellite in this page’s window; the count rises and falls with satellite passes, it isn’t continuous.
Where this data comes from
Satellite fire detections from NASA’s FIRMS, with low/medium/high confidence per point.
What detection doesn’t tell you
Dense smoke or cloud hide active fires from the satellite; a low count can mean an unseen fire, not an absent one.
Words on this page
FRP (fire radiative power)
The energy released by a fire detection, in megawatts, measured by satellite from the infrared brightness of the burn. A higher FRP means a more intense fire in that satellite pixel, not necessarily a bigger one: a small, very hot fire can outscore a large, weak one.
Standard definition by NASA FIRMS — Fire Information for Resource Management System · FRP (fire radiative power)
Preliminary data
A measurement published as soon as it is collected, before the agency’s final review. It can be corrected or withdrawn: earthquake magnitudes shift in the first hours, air-quality readings are revised weeks later. Use it to plan your day, not for regulatory or legal purposes.

How to read these numbers
To decide whether to leave home, the source is your local fire service and emergency agency, who know the fire front and the roads. The satellite helps you understand the scale and direction of what is burning.
During fire season it is worth opening the smoke map page as well: a plume travels hundreds of kilometres and degrades air far from the flames.
Frequently asked questions
- Can the satellite see a small fire?
- A fire of a few square metres can go undetected. The practical VIIRS limit is around a few hundred square metres of active flame, depending on intensity.
- How often does it update?
- The satellite passes twice a day over each point and the file is published a few hours later. This page reloads the file every hour.
