FIRMS Modules include:

• FIRMS Web Fire Mapper Beta 1.0 (Open Source)^NEW!
  A completely Open Source WebGIS System, with capabilities like smart display, query, and download of historical and active MODIS hotspot information. Currently under development, this project uses Minnesota MapServer, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and other open source software, and runs on Linux servers.
  
• Global Fire Email Alerts Beta 4.0
  100% Open Source System developed with Minnesota MapServer and PHP/MapScript on Linux platform.
  
• Google™ KML for Global Fires
  Visualization of recently-detected MODIS hotspots using Google™ Earth.

Project aimed at promoting sustainable natural resource management in the Congo Basin. Developed with ESRI ArcIMS, ArcSDE, Microsoft SQL Server, etc.
