- Google Earth Pro. Google Earth Pro is a handy tool that helps you sight-see the planet. And the best part is that it’s never a cloudy day. Even though the imagery is usually less than a year old, chances are that you won’t see a forest fire in the application.
- NASA’s Worldview and FIRMS. Not only is NASA Worldview an active fires map, but it’s also a live imagery map. This means that you can see forest fires and (coarse) imagery as they are collected in near real-time.
- Copernicus Emergency Management Services. Lastly, the Copernicus Emergency Management Services targets users in Europe. Similar to the other active fire maps, the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) uses MODIS and VIIRS to track thermal anomalies.
