Fires near Barcarena right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 40 thermal hotspots in 14 separate clusters within 80 km of Barcarena, Pará, Brazil in the last 48 h. The closest is 41 km ESE of the city centre (33 km SE of Belém), with 3 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 6 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 74 km WNW (68 km NW of Abaetetuba) with 11 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sun 1 pm local time.
Across Brazil there are 2,416 fire clusters in the same window, 525 of them in Pará.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Barcarena is from the NNE at 12 km/h (gusts 24 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSW. Relative humidity is 77% and the temperature 27°C.
Barcarena 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 Barcarena 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.
