Fire_cci Small Fire Database

In this webpage you will be able to download the burned area (BA) corresponding to the Small Fire Database generated by the Fire_cci project. Fire_cci is one of the Essential Climate Variables (Fire disturbance) under the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative. The scope of the project is to provide long-term burned area information for global vegetation and atmospheric modellers.

The Small Fire Database Fire_cci v1.1 product (FireCCISFD11 for short) was released on October 2018. It was obtained combining spectral information from Sentinel-2 at 20m resolution and thermal information from the MODIS active fire products.

Version 1.1 of the FireCCISFD11 database is available for 2016 for Sub-Saharan Africa. The product is produced at two different resolutions, both in geographic coordinates:

  • pixel (0.00017966259º - ~20m)
  • grid (0.25°)

For further information on the characteristics and variables of the database, please refer to the Product User Guide.

Please provide this information before downloading the product, to keep you up to date with new releases, and for statistical purposes:
