European Fire News via @CopernicusEU
"Another source for identification of active fires [in #Europe] is built through firenews: the news items are selected from a large set of RSS feeds published by various forest fires related sites, and from news feeds filtered out with appropriate keywords. Items from selected feeds are then geolocated and published on the #EFFIS web site, in the #FireNews section."
