Active fires in Argentina
Satellites detected 89 thermal hotspots in Argentina in the last 48 h, grouped into 35 fire clusters. 1 cluster reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.
The most active fire is remote Santiago del Estero, 161 km SSE of Santiago del Estero with 15 detections and a peak of 178 MW, last seen Sun 2:37 pm local time.
By region, Neuquen has 12 clusters (26 detections), Santiago del Estero has 4 clusters (21 detections), Tucuman has 1 cluster (15 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.
