In Siirt, the satellite saw 46 fire-related heat detections in the 2026 season — 27% below the past-season average. Peak heat was measured on 8 July near Siirt (9 MW).
The numbers are satellite heat detections, not a count of fires: a single fire lasting days produces many detections, while a small, short-lived fire may not show up at all. Areas under cloud are missing too. The data comes from NASA FIRMS (VIIRS 375 m) detections; the current season comes from the near-real-time feed and past seasons from the reprocessed archive, so the comparison is approximate. This page is not an official warning; in an emergency call 112, and 177 to report a forest fire.
