Fires near Honggang right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 2 thermal hotspots in 2 separate clusters within 80 km of Honggang, Heilongjiang, China in the last 48 h. The closest is 6 km SSE of the city centre (6 km SSE of Honggang), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 1 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.
Every nearby cluster is low intensity (peak under 10 MW), which is typical of agricultural or garden burning, industrial heat sources such as steel works or flares, or small fires rather than a spreading wildfire.
Across China there are 854 fire clusters in the same window, 324 of them in Heilongjiang.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 km SSE of Honggang | 6 km SSE | 1 | 1 MW | Mon 12:39 am | Mon 12:39 am |

Smoke and wind
Wind at Honggang is from the NW at 14 km/h (gusts 28 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SE. Relative humidity is 67% and the temperature 1°C.
Honggang 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 Honggang 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.
