Active fires in Bangladesh
Satellites detected 14 thermal hotspots in Bangladesh in the last 48 h, grouped into 8 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 12 km WSW of Gazipur with 5 detections and a peak of 9 MW, last seen Sun 2:27 am local time.
By region, Dhaka Division has 4 clusters (9 detections), Rangpur Division has 1 cluster (2 detections), Rajshahi Division has 2 clusters (2 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.
