• A bug in the Collection-2 Vxx14IMGML monthly fire location production software caused the fire “Type” field to be set inconsistently for product versions 1 and 2. As a result, obvious type-2 (“other static land source”) hotspots were often incorrectly labeled as type-0 (“presumed vegetation fire”) hotspots. This bug was corrected in May 2025 and all VxxIMGML product files reprocessed to version 3.
