Satellite monitoring systems (NASA FIRMS · VIIRS/MODIS) currently register 24 active heat spots in Spain, with the most activity in Cataluña, Castilla-La Mancha and Región de Murcia. The most intense detection reaches 20.0 MW of fire radiative power (FRP), an indicator of the fire's thermal intensity. The hotspots below are grouped by autonomous community and province, with their local time (Europe/Madrid), intensity (FRP) and detection confidence. Satellite detections may include agricultural or industrial burning; for official confirmation and alerts always refer to Civil Protection (112).

Spain fire alerts: Civil Protection and ES-Alert explained

Frequently asked questions – Wildfires in Spain, real-time map

Looking for official wildfire and Civil Protection alerts? See which channels to check. Our autumn and winter wildfire guide explains how to use the map outside the summer season.

On this page you'll find clear, up-to-date answers about wildfires today, the Spain wildfire map, NASA FIRMS (VIIRS/MODIS) data, FRP and detection confidence. For alerts and operational decisions, always refer to the official channels of Civil Protection and the Fire Service.

How do I read the real-time wildfire map?

Each point (hotspot) represents a thermal anomaly detected by the satellites. From the filters panel you can select the time range (up to 5 days), the confidence level (low, medium, high) and the FRP threshold (the fire's radiative power, in MW). Clicking a point opens the details with coordinates, date/time, sensor and intensity.

What is the difference between VIIRS and MODIS?

VIIRS (NOAA-20 and Suomi NPP) has a resolution of ~375 m and allows more precise locations; MODIS operates at ~1 km and offers broad historical coverage. The map can show both streams: VIIRS for precision, MODIS for completeness.

Source and update frequency of the data

The data comes from NASA FIRMS. Updates are automatic; the appearance of new hotspots depends on the orbital passes and the conditions (clouds/smoke). The page refreshes periodically to show you the latest available signals.

What is FRP (Fire Radiative Power) and how do I interpret it?

FRP measures the energy radiated by the fire (MW). High values indicate intense fires or active fronts; low values may correspond to smaller sources or to phenomena not linked to wildfires. Use the FRP slider to filter the most energetic events.

What does the confidence level (low, medium, high) mean?

It is a confidence indicator associated with the detection: "high" = higher probability that it is a real fire; "low" = greater uncertainty. Filtering by "high" reduces false positives but may exclude events partly obscured by clouds or smoke.

Why doesn't a known fire appear on the map?

Possible causes: the satellite pass hasn't happened yet, cloud/smoke cover, intensity below the set FRP threshold, position variations (tolerance ~375 m VIIRS, ~1 km MODIS). Try again later and/or lower the FRP threshold.

Limits of satellite detection

The sensors measure thermal energy: industrial activity, flares or agricultural burning can generate hotspots not linked to wildfires. Clouds, smoke and viewing angle can reduce detections. The map is an informational tool and does not replace official signals and bulletins.

Searching by autonomous community (quick guide)

The map covers the whole national territory. To focus on a specific area use zoom and pan, then apply the filters (confidence, FRP, date range) to cut down the "noise". Below is the list of the autonomous communities covered:

  • Andalusia
  • Catalonia
  • Madrid
  • Valencia
  • Galicia
  • Castile and León
  • Castile-La Mancha
  • Basque Country
  • Aragon
  • Extremadura
  • Asturias
  • Murcia
  • Navarre
  • Cantabria
  • La Rioja
  • Balearic Islands
  • Canary Islands
  • Ceuta
  • Melilla

Tip: if you don't see events in your area, widen the time range or lower the FRP threshold.

Prevention and behaviour

Avoid burning during high-risk periods; do not use a barbecue in wooded areas or near scrub; do not throw away cigarette butts; keep gardens and perimeter areas well maintained. If you see smoke or flames, do not approach: call 112 (Emergencies) or 085 (Fire Service) immediately.

The hotspots indicate thermal anomalies that do not always correspond to vegetation fires (e.g. industrial flares, agricultural activity). The location is approximate (order of magnitude: ~375 m for VIIRS, ~1 km for MODIS) and the timeliness depends on the orbital passes and on the weather/atmospheric conditions.
