Active fires in Jordan
Satellites detected 5 thermal hotspots in Jordan in the last 48 h, grouped into 3 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 79 km S of Khuraybat as Sūq with 3 detections and a peak of 1 MW, last seen Sun 2:48 am local time.
By region, Amman has 2 clusters (4 detections), Ajloun has 1 cluster (1 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.
