Fires near Campos dos Goytacazes right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 7 thermal hotspots in 4 separate clusters within 80 km of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the last 48 h. The closest is 14 km NE of the city centre (14 km NE of Campos dos Goytacazes), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 4 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
2 clusters are 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.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 15 km SSE (16 km SSE of Campos dos Goytacazes) with 2 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sat 1 pm local time.
Across Brazil there are 2,052 fire clusters in the same window, 4 of them in Rio de Janeiro.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Campos dos Goytacazes is from the NE at 4 km/h (gusts 20 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SW. Relative humidity is 94% and the temperature 26°C.
Campos dos Goytacazes is roughly downwind of the nearest fire, so smoke and haze are likely; check the air quality page before spending time outdoors.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Campos dos Goytacazes 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.
