Abstract: In order to provide satellite derived input for efficient forest fire management in India, comprehensive forest fire detection and monitoring system is developed by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO. Intra- and inter-seasonal spatio-temporal pattern of forest fires are monitored and analysed to derive regional and national level statistics for active fire locations, extent of area burnt and prioritisation of fire vulnerable zones. The active fire products and burnt area products are provided to user (state forest departments) and Forest Survey of India (FSI) for fire mitigation and management.
