Fire detected by satellite
Sorbey
Moselle · first signal on September 8, 2026, 13:57
Last satellite pass processed: 09/09 14:34, about 8 hours ago. Anything that has burned since is not on this page.
Low danger for tomorrow
Météo des forêts · September 10, 2026The expected weather conditions and recent rainfall reduce the risk of fires starting and spreading.
The day after: Low danger.
Published by Météo-France, combining temperature, humidity, wind and vegetation dryness. It is not a fire forecast: it is how easily a fire would spread if one started.
Where the fire was detected
Each point is a satellite detection, not a separate fire: one fire produces several per pass. The timeline shows the fire's chronological evolution from its first signal, each step showing what had burned up to that point.
The burned areas are the one-kilometre squares where a sensor saw fire at least once. This is a broad estimate: a single hotspot marks the whole square, so the area overflows what actually burned, and it can equally be full of holes where the satellite saw nothing at the time of its pass. On this fire it covers 2 km². The measured areas, in hectares, come from EFFIS and BDIFF, on the impacts page.
Get alerted for this area
An email when satellites detect fire around Sorbey. An address is enough, no account, and the unsubscribe link is in every message.
This is not an emergency alert service and it does not replace FR-Alert: we send at most once a day, after the morning import, and only what the satellites have seen.
Municipalities affected
Municipalities where at least one hotspot was detected, from the worst affected to the least. A hotspot in a municipality says nothing about what exactly burned there, and the population shown is that of the whole municipality: over several thousand hectares, the fire may come near neither the village nor the houses.
This cluster is not a declared fire
These hotspots were grouped because they are close in space and in time. Nobody has confirmed on the ground that it is a single fire: two neighbouring fires can be merged into one, and a fire cut by an unobserved area can be split in two. The reference remains your prefecture, the fire service and FR-Alert.
NASA FIRMS hotspots (VIIRS). The grouping is ours, its method is described in the methodology. Spotted an error? Report it.
