Active fires in Mali
Satellites detected 2,569 thermal hotspots in Mali in the last 48 h, grouped into 265 fire clusters. 5 clusters reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.
The most active fire is 145 km NW of Ségou with 51 detections and a peak of 129 MW, last seen Sun 2:22 pm local time.
By region, Kayes has 110 clusters (1,340 detections), Koulikoro has 98 clusters (711 detections), Ségou has 23 clusters (306 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.
