In giving this perspective, the authors comment on the approach and findings of recent fire product validation articles, including the two contained in this special issue. They recommend five ways that validation activities might be made more relevant to users and better connect producers of remotely sensed products to users in order to communicate satellite fire product accuracy information more effectivelyenFire managementProduct uptakeQualitative surveySAFnetIEEEThe utility of satellite fire product accuracy Information-perspectives and recommendations from the Southern Africa fire networkArticleRoy, D., Trigg, S.
