Active fires in Greece
Satellites detected 57 thermal hotspots in Greece in the last 48 h, grouped into 17 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 109 km W of Thessaloníki with 22 detections and a peak of 13 MW, last seen Sat 2:28 pm local time.
By region, Central Macedonia has 7 clusters (40 detections), Thessaly has 9 clusters (15 detections), Attica has 1 cluster (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 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.
