Evidence-backed facts

  1. NASA Fire Information for Resource Management System documents satellite-derived active-fire and thermal-anomaly data, area queries, source products, and map-key access. informative
  2. Requests require a documented map key and quota; reads do not grant satellite, fire declaration, emergency, land-management, or NASA authority. informative
  3. Clients must bind source product, area or coordinates, day range, date, map key, representation, confidence, and satellite acquisition time. informative
  4. Thermal anomalies have cloud, sensor, revisit, geolocation, confidence, and false-positive limits and do not prove fire perimeter, cause, severity, or required response. informative
