Fires near Itārsi right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 43 thermal hotspots in 23 separate clusters within 80 km of Itārsi, Madhya Pradesh, India in the last 48 h. The closest is 10 km E of the city centre (10 km E of Itārsi), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 5 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 19 km WSW (33 km WSW of Itārsi) with 14 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sun 1 pm local time.
Across India there are 707 fire clusters in the same window, 167 of them in Madhya Pradesh.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Itārsi is from the SSE at 6 km/h (gusts 12 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NNW. Relative humidity is 71% and the temperature 20°C.
Itārsi 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 Itārsi 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.
