Fires near Bắc Từ Liêm right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 4 thermal hotspots in 2 separate clusters within 80 km of Bắc Từ Liêm, Hanoi, Vietnam in the last 24 h. The closest is 29 km NNE of the city centre (14 km S of Phổ Yên), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 4 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.
Across Vietnam there are 63 fire clusters in the same window.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 km S of Phổ Yên | 29 km NNE | 2 | 4 MW | Sun 12:59 pm | Sun 12:59 pm |
| 35 km W of Phủ Lý | 59 km SSW | 2 | 11 MW | Sun 12:59 pm | Sun 12:59 pm |
Smoke and wind
Wind at Bắc Từ Liêm is from the E at 3 km/h (gusts 12 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the W. Relative humidity is 92% and the temperature 25°C.
Bắc Từ Liêm 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 Bắc Từ Liêm 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.
