Fires near Nazaré right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 26 thermal hotspots in 13 separate clusters within 80 km of Nazaré, Bahia, Brazil in the last 48 h. The closest is 25 km ENE of the city centre (25 km ENE of Nazaré), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 3 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 69 km N (13 km SSE of Feira de Santana) with 6 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.
Across Brazil there are 2,416 fire clusters in the same window, 264 of them in Bahia.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Nazaré is from the ESE at 9 km/h (gusts 30 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WNW. Relative humidity is 77% and the temperature 28°C.
Nazaré 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 Nazaré 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.
