Active fires in Venezuela
Satellites detected 1,339 thermal hotspots in Venezuela in the last 48 h, grouped into 337 fire clusters. None reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW, which suggests mostly small or agricultural fires.
The most active fire is 47 km WSW of Maturín with 223 detections and a peak of 82 MW, last seen Sun 1:45 pm local time.
By region, Bolívar has 133 clusters (528 detections), Monagas has 10 clusters (267 detections), Anzoátegui has 44 clusters (191 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.
