Regenarating data from scratch

If you need to regenate from scratch, download source files spliting by 3-4 years periods, e.g. 2000 to 2003, 2004-2006, 2007-2009,2010-2012, and so forth.

Merge then:

	ogr2ogr -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2000-2003.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2004-2006.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2007-2009.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2010-2012.shp
	ogr2ogr -append -select "ACQ_DATE","BRIGHTNESS","FRP" fires.shp fires_2013.shp

Init a Spatialite database with this data:

	spatialite_tool -i -shp data/fires -d data/fires.sqlite -t fires -c UTF-8 -s 4326

Create recent and intense tables:

	spatialite data/fires.sqlite < sql/create.sql
