Fires near Huyện Lâm Hà right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 4 thermal hotspots in 4 separate clusters within 80 km of Huyện Lâm Hà, Lam Dong, Vietnam in the last 48 h. The closest is 42 km NNW of the city centre (42 km NNW of Huyện Lâm Hà), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 2 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.
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 Vietnam there are 159 fire clusters in the same window, 8 of them in Lam Dong.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Huyện Lâm Hà is from the NNE at 5 km/h (gusts 13 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSW. Relative humidity is 100% and the temperature 18°C.
Huyện Lâm Hà 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 Huyện Lâm Hà 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.
