Fires near Jiawang right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 24 thermal hotspots in 15 separate clusters within 80 km of Jiawang, Jiangsu, China in the last 24 h. The closest is 18 km NNW of the city centre (18 km NNW of Jiawang), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 1 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
2 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 47 km E (10 km N of Pizhou) with 5 detections; first seen Mon 2 am and last seen Mon 2 am local time.
Across China there are 803 fire clusters in the same window, 21 of them in Jiangsu.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Jiawang is from the SE at 3 km/h (gusts 12 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NW. Relative humidity is 70% and the temperature 17°C.
Jiawang 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 Jiawang 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.
