Fires near Long Bien right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 14 thermal hotspots in 6 separate clusters within 80 km of Long Bien, Hanoi, Vietnam in the last 48 h. The closest is 29 km N of the city centre (14 km S of Phổ Yên), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 4 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.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 66 km E (8 km SSE of Thị Trấn Đông Triều) with 4 detections; first seen Sun 1 am and last seen Sun 1 am local time.
Across Vietnam there are 159 fire clusters in the same window.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Long Bien is from the ENE at 3 km/h (gusts 8 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WSW. Relative humidity is 92% and the temperature 26°C.
Long Bien 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 Long Bien 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.
