Where this data comes from
Hotspots from the VIIRS sensors on Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20 and NOAA-21 (NASA FIRMS), 375 m pixels and about six passes a day between the three. They are grouped into probable fires when neighbouring hotspots exist; agricultural burning or an industrial chimney also show on the map, which is why small groups are left out of the list. A hotspot is a thermal detection, not a confirmed fire: in an emergency call your local emergency number.
