The NASA track the forest fires that occur globally through a program which is made up of a map with red dots, which represent the different outbreaks that are active in each of the territories that make up the planet Earth.
Currently, it is an international socioeconomic problem that is triggered by natural phenomena such as drought and/or intentionally caused by negligent human actions.
The software, “Fire Information Resource Management System” from american space agency It began to be implemented in 2001 as a tool for detecting environmental disasters. How does it work?

How does the NASA program for the detection of forest fires work?
The monitoring system of the NASA for the detection of forest fires It works by means of two orbiting satellites, named ‘Aqua’ and ‘Earth’, together with a set of visible infrared photographic radiometers that scan the Earth’s surface and collect precise data on the location and intensity of the fire in real time.
In this regard, the French meteorologist from the Pierre Simon-Laplace Institute, Olivier Boucher, analyzed that “it is a valuable indicator that combines both the intensity and the size of the fire. Its only drawback is that it cannot differentiate between a small and very hot fire and a larger but less intense one”.
The information collected through the virtual instrument “Fire Information for Resource Management System”can be observed in a viewer and, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration He shares it publicly on his official website.

“In much of the world, tracking fires and smoke using data from satellites from the NASA It is the only way to get a consistent picture of fire activity, and our fire weather data helps us understand the causes,” said the climate scientist at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies of the NASARobert Field.

Users will be able to access the available data on the accidents that occurred in the current day as well as the events that took place during the last 24 hours or even the images recorded in the last few weeks.
