Fires near Dijon right now

No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Dijon, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France in the last 48 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 166 km NNE (10 km SSW of Nancy), with 2 detections. A clear result only covers satellite passes: small fires, fires under cloud and fires that start after the last overpass will not show yet.

Across France there are 4 fire clusters in the same window.

Smoke and wind

Wind at Dijon is from the SW at 5 km/h (gusts 10 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NE. Relative humidity is 78% and the temperature 10°C.

Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Dijon 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 European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.

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.
