Update on FIRMS Fire Information for Resource Management System Diane Davies, Greg Ederer, Gary Fu, and Otmar Olsina LANCE UWG, Boulder, Colorado 17 -18 th April 2019 1

FIRMS Improvements Based on user feedback: • Added the option of adding a KML file to the FIRMS Rapid Alerts (CSV attachments for RT, Daily and Weekly alerts) • Added JSON file option for downloads • Added a Tour and Tutorials • Added Get MAP_KEY feature to help prompt ‘fair access’ to users of the FIRMS web services (WMS, WMS-T) • Added MODIS (MCD 64) Burned Area product* to provides users with more context *not a NRT product

Future • Working with GIBS / Worldview team to improve the integration of FIRMS • This will benefit FIRMS site and FIRMS data brokers that use FIRMS WMS to feed their map applications. During the huge wildfires in California FIRMS struggled to support increase in map service demand. To prevent high volume WMS usage by a few users, a WMS access key was introduced to provide more balanced and “equal” access to the map server. • Since GIBS can manage large volume of map data, our goal is to integrate with their system to utilize some of their map services for FIRMS either as WMS or WMTS.
