Next Generation Fire System (NGFS) - Experimental ; CIMSS

June 2026: The UW campus has experienced a significant chilled water disruption. This will limit SSEC datacenter cooling and data outages may occur without warning. Please consider accessing NGFS detections and satellite imagery through the NOAA/NESDIS Wildland Fire Data Portal: https://fire.data.nesdis.noaa.gov/map/
