Active fires in Michigan
NASA's VIIRS satellites detected 17 thermal hotspots in Michigan in the last 48 h, grouped into 2 fire clusters; 1 of them are significant (a peak of 10 MW or more, or 3+ detections). That is 0% of the 573 clusters across United States.
The most intense is 37 km S of Adrian, peaking at 12 MW (low-intensity) with 15 detections, last seen Sun 3:36 pm local time. No cluster in the state passed 100 MW, so these look like smaller fires, prescribed or agricultural burns rather than a large spreading fire.
39 listed cities in Michigan have a detection within 80 km; the closest is Port Huron, 2 km from a fire to its S.
Fires are assigned to the state of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can show under the neighbouring state.

Official fire information and evacuations
GodsView shows satellite detections only, not fire perimeters, containment or evacuation zones. Follow orders from local authorities.
InciWeb (inciweb.wildfire.gov) lists federal wildfire incidents. Evacuation orders come from county sheriffs and emergency management, often via Genasys Protect (protect.genasys.com) or local alert apps.
About this fire map
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.
