Active fires in Liberia
Satellites detected 3 thermal hotspots in Liberia 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 62 km NE of Monrovia with 2 detections and a peak of 3 MW, last seen Sun 2:22 pm local time.
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 62 km NE of Monrovia | Montserrado County | 2 | 3 MW | Sun 2:22 pm |
| 4 km ESE of Monrovia | Montserrado County | 1 | 3 MW | Sun 2:22 pm |
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.
