Active fires in Portugal
Satellites detected 2 thermal hotspots in Portugal 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 31 km W of Coimbra with 1 detection and a peak of 3 MW, last seen Sun 2:31 pm local time.
By region, Coimbra has 1 cluster (1 detections), Lisbon has 1 cluster (1 detections).
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 km W of Coimbra | Coimbra | 1 | 3 MW | Sun 2:31 pm |
| 12 km SSE of Lisbon | Lisbon | 1 | 1 MW | Sun 3:10 am |
Official information
The European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.
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.
