Active fires in Turkey
Satellites detected 344 thermal hotspots in Turkey in the last 24 h, grouped into 195 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 30 km WSW of Batman with 6 detections and a peak of 18 MW, last seen Sun 2:08 pm local time.
By region, Kırşehir has 17 clusters (39 detections), Ankara has 15 clusters (27 detections), Kahramanmaraş has 8 clusters (23 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 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.
