Fires near Quảng Ngãi right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 163 thermal hotspots in 15 separate clusters within 80 km of Quảng Ngãi, Quang Ngai, Vietnam in the last 48 h. The closest is 10 km SSW of the city centre (20 km SSW of Quảng Ngãi), with 78 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 37 MW, which is moderate 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.
Across Vietnam there are 159 fire clusters in the same window, 11 of them in Quang Ngai.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Quảng Ngãi is from the W at 5 km/h (gusts 8 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the E. Relative humidity is 100% and the temperature 23°C.
Quảng Ngãi 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 Quảng Ngãi 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.
