Active fires in Yemen
Satellites detected 5 thermal hotspots in Yemen in the last 48 h, grouped into 3 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 Amanat Alasimah, 196 km E of Sanaa with 2 detections and a peak of 3 MW, last seen Sun 1:12 am local time.
By region, Muhafazat Hadramaout has 2 clusters (3 detections), Amanat Alasimah has 1 cluster (2 detections).
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 Amanat Alasimah, 196 km E of Sanaa | Amanat Alasimah | 2 | 3 MW | Sun 1:12 am |
| 117 km N of Mukalla | Muhafazat Hadramaout | 2 | 2 MW | Sun 2:02 pm |
| 144 km N of Mukalla | Muhafazat Hadramaout | 1 | 1 MW | Sun 1:12 am |
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.
