Fires near Móng Cái right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 44 thermal hotspots in 7 separate clusters within 80 km of Móng Cái, Quảng Ninh, Vietnam in the last 24 h. The closest is 15 km ENE of the city centre (14 km E of Dongxing), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 9 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 65 km NE (19 km WSW of Qinzhou) with 21 detections; first seen Sun 12 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.
Across Vietnam there are 63 fire clusters in the same window, 3 of them in Quảng Ninh.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Móng Cái is from the NE at 13 km/h (gusts 28 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SW. Relative humidity is 77% and the temperature 27°C.
Móng Cái 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 Móng Cái 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.
