The FRM product combines information from Numerical Weather Prediction models – in this case the operational forecasts from ECMWF – and vegetation state from SEVIRI to derive forecasts of the risk of fire for the European region.

The FDeM product is based on the algorithm FIDALGO (Fire Detection Algorithm) developed within the LSA-SAF to identify SEVIRI/Meteosat pixels potentially contaminated by fires.
