WMS and KML Access
The data links below provide access to MODIS MOD14 fire detections, current large incident locations, and fire weather forecasts in both a Web Mapping Service (WMS) or Keyhole Markup Language (KML/KMZ) format for each specified geographic area. WMSes and KMLs are updated hourly.

WMS Content:
WMSes are provided for both the current year and previous years of the MODIS data record. The current year WMS depicts fire detections categorized by occurrence within the last 12 hours, 12-24 hours and all detections previous to the last 24 hour period. Current large wildland fire incidents are also provided. Historical WMSes depict the cumulative fire detection data for each calendar year from 2001 to 2006. WMS data can be integrated in GIS client using the respective map connection strings provided. ESRI users should read about the interoperability Add-Ons for WMS support in their products.
KML Content:
The KMZ files can be utilized in Google Earth or any virtual globe application that supports KML/KMZ files. The KMZ for each geographic area consist of the following:
- The fire detection KMZ depicts MODIS fire detections by time/date of occurrence within the last 12 hours, 12-24 hours and the 6 days previous to the last 24-hour period
- The fire radiative power KMZ depicts the measured fire radiative power (fire intensity) for MODIS fire detections within the last 12 hours, 12-24 hours and the 6 days previous to the last 24-hour period
- The current large fires KMZ contains the location and intelligence information of large wildland fire incidents currently being tracked by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC)
- Current National Weather Service fire weather watch and red flag warnings by fire weather zone
