Active fires in United States

Satellites detected 1,763 thermal hotspots in United States in the last 48 h, grouped into 576 fire clusters. 2 clusters reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.

The most active fire is 51 km SW of Jonesboro with 14 detections and a peak of 120 MW, last seen Sun 3:34 pm local time.

By region, Texas has 80 clusters (238 detections), Louisiana has 64 clusters (210 detections), Alabama has 30 clusters (156 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

InciWeb (inciweb.wildfire.gov) lists federal wildfire incidents. Evacuation orders come from county sheriffs and emergency management, often via Genasys Protect (protect.genasys.com) or local alert apps.

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.
