Fires near Aihui right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 24 thermal hotspots in 6 separate clusters within 80 km of Aihui, Heilongjiang, China in the last 24 h. The closest is 58 km WSW of the city centre (58 km WSW of Aihui), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 2 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
None of the clusters is within 25 km of the centre, so the city itself is not in the immediate fire area, but smoke can travel hundreds of kilometres.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 67 km W (68 km W of Aihui) with 8 detections; first seen Sun 12 pm and last seen Mon 2 am local time.
Across China there are 803 fire clusters in the same window, 323 of them in Heilongjiang.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Aihui is from the WNW at 12 km/h (gusts 25 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the ESE. Relative humidity is 44% and the temperature 1°C.
Aihui is not directly downwind of the nearest fire at the moment, though winds shift and plumes from larger fires can still reach the city.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Aihui air quality page has the live reading.
Evacuations and official information
GodsView shows satellite detections only. It does not know fire perimeters, containment or evacuation zones. Always follow evacuation orders from local authorities.
The Global Wildfire Information System, GWIS (gwis.jrc.ec.europa.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas worldwide; evacuation orders come from national civil protection and local authorities.
About satellite fire detections
Satellite thermal hotspots are not all wildfires: gas flares, steel works, volcanoes and planned agricultural or prescribed burns show up too. VIIRS passes over most places about twice a day, so a fire can start or grow between passes, and thick smoke or cloud can hide one.
Fire radiative power (FRP) is the heat a fire gives off, in megawatts per pixel: under 10 MW is usually a small or smouldering fire, over 100 MW an intense flaming front.
