Fires near Hà Tĩnh right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 19 thermal hotspots in 10 separate clusters within 80 km of Hà Tĩnh, Hà Tĩnh Province, Vietnam in the last 48 h. The closest is 38 km SSW of the city centre (38 km SSW of Hà Tĩnh), with 3 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 17 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 64 km ESE (15 km ESE of Kỳ Anh) with 5 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.
Across Vietnam there are 159 fire clusters in the same window, 7 of them in Hà Tĩnh Province.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Hà Tĩnh is from the WNW at 2 km/h (gusts 5 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the ESE. Relative humidity is 95% and the temperature 26°C.
Hà Tĩnh 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 Hà Tĩnh 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.
