Fires near Bārān right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 119 thermal hotspots in 30 separate clusters within 80 km of Bārān, Rajasthan, India in the last 48 h. The closest is 25 km WNW of the city centre (25 km WNW of Bārān), with 3 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 10 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 41 km E (55 km E of Bārān) with 22 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sun 1 pm local time.
Across India there are 659 fire clusters in the same window, 52 of them in Rajasthan.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Bārān is from the E at 8 km/h (gusts 15 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the W. Relative humidity is 50% and the temperature 23°C.
Bārān 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 Bārān 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.
