Active fires in Russia

Satellites detected 1,790 thermal hotspots in Russia in the last 48 h, grouped into 468 fire clusters. 3 clusters reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.

The most active fire is 34 km NNW of Khabarovsk with 183 detections and a peak of 45 MW, last seen Sun 9:19 pm local time.

By region, Khabarovsk has 26 clusters (311 detections), Rostov has 39 clusters (167 detections), Lipetsk Oblast has 12 clusters (123 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.
