Remote sensing is an essential method to observe large-scale biomass fires on the earth because they occur widely in many places. Annual burnt area reaches about 3.5〜5×10^6 km^2 in savannah and about 0.1〜0.3×10^6 km^2 in tropical and boreal forests. Several biomass fire detecting system by satellites such as NOAA AVHRR, MODIS Terra and ATSR are now working. This paper discusses present situation and issue of remote sensing method by a few satellites. Effectiveness of remote sensing is shown by observation of actual forest fires happened in 2002. Catastrophic boreal forest fires occurred in the vicinity of Yakutsk, Sakha, Russia and these consecutive fires were interpreted well by using data from AVHRR and MODIS.
