Active fires in Madagascar
Satellites detected 2,928 thermal hotspots in Madagascar in the last 48 h, grouped into 682 fire clusters. 9 clusters reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.
The most active fire is remote Diana, 194 km S of Antsiranana with 199 detections and a peak of 115 MW, last seen Sun 1:53 pm local time.
By region, Diana has 65 clusters (729 detections), Boeny has 187 clusters (729 detections), Vakinankaratra has 125 clusters (493 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.
