About
This Commons feed reads NASA FIRMS active-fire detections from the MODIS and VIIRS satellite instruments: hotspot location, detection confidence, and fire radiative power, updated multiple times daily. Filtered to a watch radius around each site, it turns global satellite data into a per-site risk signal.
The upstream is free with a free map key from NASA. When a detection lands inside a radius, the play is a site risk brief: the detection, the distance, the trend over the last passes, and a timestamped record you can hand to your insurer.

- Free feed; free NASA map key

Authentication
A free NASA FIRMS map key, stored in your tenant's secret store.
What it reads
- Active fire detections with location, confidence, and radiative power
- Distance from each registered site to each detection
- Detection trend across satellite passes for the same area
What it can do
This is a sensing source: it reads, it does not write. Operators act through the write-capable connectors alongside it.
How it works
1
Sense
Active fire detections with location, confidence, and radiative power.
2
Reason
Operators reason over this connector's signals next to the rest of your stack, so decisions are grounded in the same records you run on.
3
Act
Nothing. This is a sensing source; operators act through the write-capable connectors alongside it.

Public upstream feed · managed deployment terms
The upstream signal may be publicly accessible, but no public Fibric plan or hosted feed is offered here. Integration, validation, limits, and support are scoped in writing for a managed deployment.
- Deployment engineer
- Wires and verifies the integration with you during onboarding
- Managed validation
- Review maturity, authority, supported records, and deployment boundaries before go-live
- Execution records
- Supported reads, proposals, policy decisions, and reported outcomes kept for review
- Support from the builders
- Developed, run, and supported directly by Fibric
Requirements
- Site coordinates and a watch radius per site
- A free NASA FIRMS map key
Your deployment engineer verifies each line with you during onboarding.
Support and resources
Supported by the people who built it
This signal feed is developed, run, and supported by the same Fibric team. Support starts during onboarding with a named deployment engineer and doesn't hand you off afterward.

Bring Wildfire Detection into your early-access deployment
Early access means a deployment engineer wires this with you, and it runs propose-only until you approve live actions.
