Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Fire  (CEMS-Fire)  include two operational services, both operated by ECMWF who have the responsibilities of running the forecasts develop in hosting the associated information system platforms.forecasts 

EFFIS is the European Fire Forecast Information System. It is operational since 2012 in collaboration with several European organisations responsible for producing and providing the flood information. Since 1998, EFFIS is supported by a network of experts from the countries in what is called the Expert Group on Forest Fires. In 2015, EFFIS became one of the components of the Emergency Management Services in the EU Copernicus program. It provides pan-European overview maps of flood probabilities up fire danger to 15 days in advance, seasonal streamflow outlooks up to 3 4 months ahead, and flash-flood risk.

GloFAS is GWIS is the Global Flood Awareness Wildfire Information System. It is operational since 2018 and provides global overview maps of flood probabilities up to 30 days in advance and seasonal streamflow outlooks up to 4 months ahead.

fire dangers and is a joint initiative of the GEO and the Copernicus Work Programs. In the new GEO GWIS work program for the years 2020-2022 , the Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) aims at bringing together existing information sources at regional and national level in order to provide a comprehensive view and evaluation of fire regimes and fire effects at global level and to provide tools to support operational wildfire management from national to global scales.
