Fires near Oregon right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 45 thermal hotspots in 7 separate clusters within 80 km of Oregon, Ohio, United States in the last 48 h. The closest is 2 km WSW of the city centre (at Oregon), with 4 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 1 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
2 clusters are 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.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 47 km W (37 km S of Adrian) with 15 detections; first seen Sat 2 am and last seen Sun 3 pm local time.
Across United States there are 576 fire clusters in the same window, 16 of them in Ohio.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Oregon is from the E at 9 km/h (gusts 12 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the W. Relative humidity is 72% and the temperature 14°C.
Oregon 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 Oregon 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.
InciWeb (inciweb.wildfire.gov) lists federal wildfire incidents. Evacuation orders come from county sheriffs and emergency management, often via Genasys Protect (protect.genasys.com) or local alert apps.
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.
