Users can subscribe to email alerts bases on their area. Fire detection is conducted primarily by the 1 km resolution channels at 4 µm and 11 µm which.

Fire detections modis 1km viirs 375m and 750m avhrr 1km and goes 4km fire detections by time date of occurrence within the last 6 12 and 24 hours and the 6 days previous to the last 24 hour period. For low cost sensor data a correction equation is also applied to mitigate bias in the sensor data. Goes 16 and goes 17 the goes 16 and 17 satellites are in a geostationary orbit meaning they rotate with the earth and always view the same area of earth s surface.
