Active fires in France
Satellites detected 11 thermal hotspots in France in the last 48 h, grouped into 4 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 29 km ENE of Nancy with 1 detection and a peak of 44 MW, last seen Sun 1:53 pm local time.
By region, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur has 1 cluster (7 detections), Grand Est has 2 clusters (3 detections), Hauts-de-France has 1 cluster (1 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 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.
