Fires near Hòa Bình right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 11 thermal hotspots in 6 separate clusters within 80 km of Hòa Bình, Phu Tho, Vietnam in the last 48 h. The closest is 24 km S of the city centre (24 km S of Hòa Bình), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 4 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
1 cluster is 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 74 km SE (16 km S of Phủ Lý) with 4 detections; first seen Sun 1 am and last seen Sun 1 am local time.
Across Vietnam there are 159 fire clusters in the same window, 1 of them in Phu Tho.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Hòa Bình is from the W at 0 km/h (gusts 4 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the E. Relative humidity is 96% and the temperature 25°C.
Hòa Bình 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 Hòa Bình 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.
