Active fires in Angola
Satellites detected 551 thermal hotspots in Angola in the last 24 h, grouped into 209 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is remote Cubango, 364 km SSE of Menongue with 23 detections and a peak of 63 MW, last seen Sun 1:34 pm local time.
By region, Cunene has 55 clusters (208 detections), Cubango has 60 clusters (195 detections), Moxico has 30 clusters (57 detections).
Fires are assigned to the country of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can appear under the neighbour.

Official information
The Global Wildfire Information System, GWIS (gwis.jrc.ec.europa.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas worldwide; evacuation orders come from national civil protection and local authorities.
Satellite thermal hotspots are not all wildfires: gas flares, steel works, volcanoes and planned agricultural or prescribed burns show up too. VIIRS passes over most places about twice a day, so a fire can start or grow between passes, and thick smoke or cloud can hide one.
