Wildfires in Papua New Guinea
Wildfires: active fire clusters detected by NASA FIRMS (VIIRS satellite thermal detections, grouped per grid cell of about 11 km and per UTC day; only clusters with at least 5 detections and 100 MW of fire radiative power are listed, so agricultural burns and industrial flares can appear), official US incidents from NIFC/WFIGS (100 acres and above, not fully contained) and wildfire alerts from GDACS. Satellite detections are not evacuation orders or official danger levels; follow local authorities.
Sources: NIFC / WFIGS, NASA FIRMS (VIIRS), GDACS. Satellite detections and incident records are copied from the providers and are not verified by alerts.live. Follow the instructions of local authorities.
