Fires near Nazilli right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 8 thermal hotspots in 3 separate clusters within 80 km of Nazilli, Aydın, Turkey in the last 48 h. The closest is 11 km SW of the city centre (14 km SW of Nazilli), with 6 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 12 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.
Across Turkey there are 254 fire clusters in the same window, 3 of them in Aydın.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |

Smoke and wind
Wind at Nazilli is from the NNW at 6 km/h (gusts 10 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSE. Relative humidity is 78% and the temperature 17°C.
Nazilli 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 Nazilli 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 European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.
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.
