Fires near Hoàng Mai right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 13 thermal hotspots in 7 separate clusters within 80 km of Hoàng Mai, Nghệ An Province, Vietnam in the last 48 h. The closest is 11 km NW of the city centre (11 km NW of Hoàng Mai), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 9 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
3 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 31 km WSW (37 km WSW of Hoàng Mai) with 5 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sat 1 pm local time.
Across Vietnam there are 159 fire clusters in the same window, 11 of them in Nghệ An Province.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Hoàng Mai is from the NNW at 4 km/h (gusts 8 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSE. Relative humidity is 98% and the temperature 24°C.
Hoàng Mai 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 Hoàng Mai 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.
