Active fires in Tunisia
Satellites detected 2 thermal hotspots in Tunisia 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 remote Gabès Governorate, 256 km SSW of Gabès with 1 detection and a peak of 1 MW, last seen Sun 2:30 am local time.
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| remote Gabès Governorate, 256 km SSW of Gabès | Gabès Governorate | 1 | 1 MW | Sun 2:30 am |
| remote Gabès Governorate, 155 km WSW of Gabès | Gabès Governorate | 1 | 0 MW | Sun 2:30 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.
