Fires near Parauapebas right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 20 thermal hotspots in 5 separate clusters within 80 km of Parauapebas, Pará, Brazil in the last 48 h. The closest is 18 km NW of the city centre (19 km NW of Parauapebas), with 9 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 11 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 Brazil there are 2,416 fire clusters in the same window, 525 of them in Pará.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Parauapebas is from the NW at 3 km/h (gusts 7 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SE. Relative humidity is 91% and the temperature 26°C.
Parauapebas 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 Parauapebas 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.
