Fire near Otago
Status: ✓ Confirmed
This fire is confirmed by repeated, intense satellite detections (or by a Fire and Emergency NZ incident).
⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS.

Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
