Fires near Kütahya right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 11 thermal hotspots in 7 separate clusters within 80 km of Kütahya, Turkey in the last 48 h. The closest is 33 km SW of the city centre (33 km SW of Kütahya), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 5 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.
Across Turkey there are 254 fire clusters in the same window, 2 of them in Kütahya.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Kütahya is from the SW at 4 km/h (gusts 7 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NE. Relative humidity is 78% and the temperature 10°C.
Kütahya 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 Kütahya 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 European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.
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.
