Fire near Steelpoort
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. They are not verified on the ground and are not 100% accurate — they can include false alarms (industrial heat, gas flares, sun glint) or miss small or cloud-covered fires. Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official emergency sources.
