Active fires in Victoria
NASA's VIIRS satellites detected 11 thermal hotspots in Victoria in the last 48 h, grouped into 6 fire clusters; 1 of them are significant (a peak of 10 MW or more, or 3+ detections). That is 2% of the 313 clusters across Australia.
The most intense is 8 km SSW of St Albans, peaking at 2 MW (low-intensity) with 3 detections, last seen Mon 2:22 am local time. No cluster in the state passed 100 MW, so these look like smaller fires, prescribed or agricultural burns rather than a large spreading fire.
7 listed cities in Victoria have a detection within 80 km; the closest is St Albans, VIC, 8 km from a fire to its SSW.
Fires are assigned to the state of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can show under the neighbouring state.

Official fire information and evacuations
GodsView shows satellite detections only, not fire perimeters, containment or evacuation zones. Follow orders from local authorities.
Bushfire warnings in Australia are issued by state services; here that is VicEmergency (emergency.vic.gov.au). Follow the Australian Warning System levels (Advice, Watch and Act, Emergency Warning).
About this fire map
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.
