Active fires in Georgia
NASA's VIIRS satellites detected 57 thermal hotspots in Georgia in the last 48 h, grouped into 19 fire clusters; 4 of them are significant (a peak of 10 MW or more, or 3+ detections). That is 3% of the 573 clusters across United States.
The most intense is 46 km NNW of Rome, peaking at 23 MW (low-intensity) with 5 detections, last seen Sun 1:54 pm local time. No cluster in the state passed 100 MW, so these look like smaller fires, prescribed or agricultural burns rather than a large spreading fire.
39 listed cities in Georgia have a detection within 80 km; the closest is Warner Robins, 18 km from a fire to its NW.
Fires are assigned to the state of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can show under the neighbouring state.

Official fire information and evacuations
GodsView shows satellite detections only, not fire perimeters, containment or evacuation zones. Follow orders from local authorities.
InciWeb (inciweb.wildfire.gov) lists federal wildfire incidents. Evacuation orders come from county sheriffs and emergency management, often via Genasys Protect (protect.genasys.com) or local alert apps.
About this fire map
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.
