Active fires in Austria
Satellites detected 9 thermal hotspots in Austria in the last 48 h, grouped into 1 fire cluster. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 5 km SE of Linz with 9 detections and a peak of 5 MW, last seen Sun 2:26 am local time.
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 European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.
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.
