- Go to fires download page - https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/download/
- Zoom to Sumatra. It doesn't have to be perfect. We do some screening in EE to make sure there are no fires in Malaysia used.
- Submit the download request (2013-03-30 to present) - csv is easiest - then wait for it to complete (usually < 30 minutes)
- Upload the CSV file to Fusion Tables. Go here, then just click "new table" under the File menu and follow the instructions.
- Get the docid from the url. For example, for
docid=1SzJl73nj5IPVEOGqhGc8uv5Vkwb504uqK_YTnVGh
just grab1SzJl73nj5IPVEOGqhGc8uv5Vkwb504uqK_YTnVGh
- Update dates in this script when you run it on EE - the second date in the POST variable may need to be extended.
- Update the FIRES variable to equal to "ft:". You'll see how it is in the code.
