Active fires in Chad
Satellites detected 1,729 thermal hotspots in Chad in the last 48 h, grouped into 224 fire clusters. 2 clusters reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.
The most active fire is remote Ouadaï, 177 km SSW of Abéché with 160 detections and a peak of 63 MW, last seen Sun 1:42 pm local time.
By region, Moyen-Chari has 167 clusters (871 detections), Ouadaï has 32 clusters (735 detections), N’Djaména has 14 clusters (100 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.
