Active fires in Qatar
Satellites detected 58 thermal hotspots in Qatar in the last 48 h, grouped into 12 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 54 km N of Lusail with 19 detections and a peak of 26 MW, last seen Sun 12:24 pm local time.
By region, Al Daayen has 7 clusters (28 detections), Baladiyat ad Dawhah has 4 clusters (27 detections), Baladiyat ar Rayyan has 1 cluster (3 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.
