Active fires in Ontario
NASA's VIIRS satellites detected 42 thermal hotspots in Ontario in the last 24 h, grouped into 11 fire clusters; 4 of them are significant (a peak of 10 MW or more, or 3+ detections). That is 15% of the 75 clusters across Canada.
The most intense is 4 km ENE of Hamilton, peaking at 4 MW (low-intensity) with 19 detections, last seen Sun 1:56 pm local time. No cluster in the province passed 100 MW, so these look like smaller fires, prescribed or agricultural burns rather than a large spreading fire.
138 listed cities in Ontario have a detection within 80 km; the closest is Greater Sudbury, 3 km from a fire to its W.
Fires are assigned to the province of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can show under the neighbouring province.

Official fire information and evacuations
GodsView shows satellite detections only, not fire perimeters, containment or evacuation zones. Follow orders from local authorities.
CIFFC (ciffc.net) publishes the national wildfire situation; provincial fire status and evacuation alerts come from Ontario Forest Fires (ontario.ca/page/forest-fires). Alertable and local emergency alerts carry evacuation orders.
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.
