Fires near Río Cuarto right now
No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Río Cuarto, Cordoba, Argentina in the last 48 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 181 km NW (139 km WSW of Córdoba), with 1 detection. A clear result only covers satellite passes: small fires, fires under cloud and fires that start after the last overpass will not show yet.
Across Argentina there are 42 fire clusters in the same window, 2 of them in Cordoba.

Wind at Río Cuarto is from the ESE at 8 km/h (gusts 17 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WNW. Relative humidity is 67% and the temperature 13°C.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Río Cuarto 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.
