Fires near Ba Đồn right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 16 thermal hotspots in 8 separate clusters within 80 km of Ba Đồn, Quang Tri, Vietnam in the last 24 h. The closest is 14 km W of the city centre (15 km W of Ba Đồn), with 3 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 2 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
1 cluster is within 25 km, close enough that smoke, ash or road closures may affect the city. Distances are measured from the city centre to the nearest detection, not to the fire's edge.
Across Vietnam there are 63 fire clusters in the same window, 5 of them in Quang Tri.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Ba Đồn is from the E at 11 km/h (gusts 22 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the W. Relative humidity is 86% and the temperature 27°C.
Ba Đồn 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 Ba Đồn 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.
