• Using MODIS 250m, but produced by a European team (mainly out of Spain) and funded by ESA in the context of their CCI efforts (ie, related to the terrific ESA land cover CCI project/product)
• "Data availability: The Fire_cci products are freely available through the Fire_cci website or through the CCI Open Data Portal. To receive updates on the products and information on new datasets, users are encouraged to register with the Fire_cci project"
