Fires near Oktyabrsky right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 3 thermal hotspots in 1 separate cluster within 80 km of Oktyabrsky, Bashkortostan Republic, Russia in the last 48 h. The closest is 61 km SE of the city centre (61 km SE of Oktyabrsky), with 3 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 27 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.
Across Russia there are 460 fire clusters in the same window, 4 of them in Bashkortostan Republic.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |

Smoke and wind
Wind at Oktyabrsky is from the ESE at 1 km/h (gusts 3 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WNW. Relative humidity is 69% and the temperature 1°C.
Oktyabrsky 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 Oktyabrsky 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.
