NASA FIRMS active-fire / thermal-anomaly hotspots (firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov, NASA open data via Webshare): RAW VIIRS (375 m) / MODIS (1 km) near-real-time detections that GDACS/EONET (curated events) never list — within a radius of a coordinate OR an explicit bbox, with brightness, FRP (fire radiative power), confidence, day/night and the acquisition timestamp. The pixel-level wildfire source for parity with dedicated fire APIs

Working example
Parameters

Latitude for a radius search (with lon + radius_km); alternative to bbox. (-90–90)

Longitude for a radius search; alternative to bbox. (-180–180)

Search radius in km around the point for active-fire hotspots (1..1000). (1–1000)

Bounding box 'min_lon,min_lat,max_lon,max_lat' — alternative to lat/lon/radius_km (FIRMS area query).

Active-fire sensor. VIIRS (375 m) is finer-resolution; MODIS (1 km) has the longest record. NRT (near-real-time) feeds.

Look-back window in days (1..10) for NRT detections. (1–10)

Minimum detection confidence (VIIRS low/nominal/high; MODIS percent mapped to the same bands at 30/80).

Minimum Fire Radiative Power in megawatts — filters out the smallest thermal anomalies. (0–100000)

Maximum records to return (1..1000). (1–1000)
