Active fires in Guinea
Satellites detected 425 thermal hotspots in Guinea in the last 24 h, grouped into 176 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 31 km SW of Kankan with 9 detections and a peak of 35 MW, last seen Sun 2:25 pm local time.
By region, Kankan Region has 91 clusters (250 detections), Labé Region has 50 clusters (116 detections), Boké Region has 17 clusters (40 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.
