Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) is a free web mapping platform offered by NASA as part of its Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS) Program. It displays active fire locations in near real-time overlaid on a map.[1][2]

While created to monitor wildfires,[1] it has also been used to report on fires due to military conflicts such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine[3] and the Tigray war.[4]
