Fire near Mpumalanga
Status: ✓ Confirmed
This fire is confirmed by an EFFIS burnt-area perimeter or by repeated, intense satellite detections.
⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS.

Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official emergency sources.
