Fires near Liaoyang right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 43 thermal hotspots in 15 separate clusters within 80 km of Liaoyang, Liaoning, China in the last 48 h. The closest is 9 km WNW of the city centre (14 km WNW of Liaoyang), with 8 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 10 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
5 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.
Across China there are 854 fire clusters in the same window, 70 of them in Liaoning.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Liaoyang is from the NNE at 6 km/h (gusts 13 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSW. Relative humidity is 54% and the temperature 8°C.
Liaoyang 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 Liaoyang 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.
