Active fires in Hong Kong
Satellites detected 4 thermal hotspots in Hong Kong in the last 24 h, grouped into 2 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is at Tin Shui Wai with 2 detections and a peak of 15 MW, last seen Sun 1:59 pm local time.
By region, Yuen Long has 1 cluster (2 detections), Tuen Mun 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.
Largest fire clusters
| Fire cluster | Region | Detections | Peak FRP | Last seen (local) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| at Tin Shui Wai | Yuen Long | 2 | 15 MW | Sun 1:59 pm |
| 5 km NW of Tuen Mun | Tuen Mun | 2 | 1 MW | Mon 2:28 am |

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.
