Fire Hotspots in Italy
This overview shows the satellite-detected heat spots of the last 48 hours across Italy, broken down by region. Important: these are thermal anomalies from NASA FIRMS data, not confirmed wildfires. They also include industrial sites and agricultural burning, and clouds can hide real fires.

Important: satellite hotspots are thermal anomalies, not confirmed wildfires. They also pick up industrial sites, agricultural burning or gas flares. Conversely, dense cloud cover can hide real fires. The figures show the heat signature from space, not an official fire report.
