Fires near Nha Trang right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 38 thermal hotspots in 12 separate clusters within 80 km of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, Vietnam in the last 48 h. The closest is 29 km W of the city centre (29 km W of Nha Trang), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 2 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 77 km N (24 km WSW of Tuy Hòa) with 14 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sat 1 pm local time.
Across Vietnam there are 159 fire clusters in the same window, 10 of them in Khanh Hoa.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Nha Trang is from the WNW at 9 km/h (gusts 16 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the ESE. Relative humidity is 93% and the temperature 25°C.
Nha Trang 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 Nha Trang 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.
