Active fires in Cuba
Satellites detected 2 thermal hotspots in Cuba in the last 24 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 17 km NW of Matanzas with 2 detections and a peak of 2 MW, last seen Sun 4:18 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.

| 17 km NW of Matanzas | Matanzas Province | 2 | 2 MW | Sun 4:18 am |
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.
