Fires near Noginsk right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 6 thermal hotspots in 4 separate clusters within 80 km of Noginsk, Moscow Oblast, Russia in the last 48 h. The closest is 47 km WSW of the city centre (7 km WSW of Lyubertsy), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 1 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.
Every nearby cluster is low intensity (peak under 10 MW), which is typical of agricultural or garden burning, industrial heat sources such as steel works or flares, or small fires rather than a spreading wildfire.
Across Russia there are 468 fire clusters in the same window, 5 of them in Moscow Oblast.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Noginsk is from the SE at 8 km/h (gusts 19 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NW. Relative humidity is 65% and the temperature 3°C.
Noginsk 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 Noginsk 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.
