NASA FIRMS satellite instruments (VIIRS) recorded 172 active-fire hotspot detections in this area during the last 24 hours, with a combined fire radiative power of approximately 1,043 MW. Detections are thermal anomalies: they may include agricultural burning, industrial heat sources and gas flares as well as wildfires, and are not confirmed ground reports.
