Fires near Port Huron right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 5 thermal hotspots in 2 separate clusters within 80 km of Port Huron, Michigan, United States in the last 48 h. The closest is 2 km S of the city centre (4 km N of Corunna), with 3 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 1 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.
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 United States there are 504 fire clusters in the same window, 2 of them in Michigan.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 km N of Corunna | 2 km S | 3 | 1 MW | Sat 2:50 am | Sun 4:11 am |
| 20 km W of Strathroy | 45 km E | 2 | 1 MW | Sat 4:33 am | Sun 4:11 am |
Smoke and wind
Wind at Port Huron is from the SSW at 14 km/h (gusts 21 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NNE. Relative humidity is 71% and the temperature 17°C.
Port Huron 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 Port Huron 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.
