The objective of this chapter is to review and discuss the use of near real-time satellite data for fire detection and fire growth monitoring, focussing on NOAA-AVHRR images. Capabilities and limitations of these images, as well as existing fire detection algorithms are presented. Discussion on the potentials of future remote sensing systems for real-time fire detection concludes the chapter.
