Active fires in Honduras
Satellites detected 32 thermal hotspots in Honduras in the last 48 h, grouped into 19 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is remote Olancho Department, 197 km ESE of Catacamas with 4 detections and a peak of 11 MW, last seen Sun 1:28 pm local time.
By region, Olancho Department has 18 clusters (30 detections), Francisco Morazán Department 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 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.
