Hotspots

deepfire:hotspots — near-real-time satellite fire detections, current and historical, global coverage. Geometry: Point (EPSG:4326). Feature IDs: hotspots.<uuid>.

Attributes

Property	Type	Notes
id	uuid	Feature key (surfaced as hotspots.<uuid>)
observed_at	timestamp (ISO 8601)	Detection time
source	string	Detecting satellite / provider
confidence	string	LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH
fire_radiative_power	number, nullable	FRP in MW
country	string, nullable	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code
active	boolean	Live working set vs. historical — see below

Current vs. historical

The collection serves the full history (~18,700,000 detections); active = true narrows it to the current live set (~380,000). An unfiltered query returns everything — filter active = true if you only want live fires.

Examples

Live, high-confidence, energetic detections:

curl -sG "https://ogc.deepfire.co/ogc/features/v1/collections/deepfire:hotspots/items" \
  --data-urlencode "filter-lang=cql2-text" \
  --data-urlencode "filter=active = true AND confidence = 'HIGH' AND fire_radiative_power > 50" \
  --data-urlencode "f=application/json"

Detections in a time window (observed_at is indexed — this is fast):

curl -sG "https://ogc.deepfire.co/ogc/features/v1/collections/deepfire:hotspots/items" \
  --data-urlencode "filter-lang=cql2-text" \
  --data-urlencode "filter=observed_at >= TIMESTAMP('2026-07-01T00:00:00Z') AND observed_at < TIMESTAMP('2026-07-02T00:00:00Z')" \
  --data-urlencode "limit=10000" \
  --data-urlencode "f=application/json"

Live detections in one country:

curl -sG "https://ogc.deepfire.co/ogc/features/v1/collections/deepfire:hotspots/items" \
  --data-urlencode "filter-lang=cql2-text" \
  --data-urlencode "filter=active = true AND country = 'US'" \
  --data-urlencode "limit=10000" \
  --data-urlencode "f=application/json"
