Fires near Muridke right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 47 thermal hotspots in 22 separate clusters within 80 km of Muridke, Punjab, Pakistan in the last 24 h. The closest is 18 km ESE of the city centre (18 km ESE of Muridke), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 4 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
1 cluster is 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 42 km SW (19 km ENE of Nankana Sahib) with 9 detections; first seen Sun 12 pm and last seen Sun 2 pm local time.
Across Pakistan there are 123 fire clusters in the same window, 100 of them in Punjab.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Muridke is from the WNW at 6 km/h (gusts 9 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the ESE. Relative humidity is 84% and the temperature 16°C.
Muridke 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 Muridke 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.
