Fires near Santo Antônio de Jesus right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 19 thermal hotspots in 11 separate clusters within 80 km of Santo Antônio de Jesus, Bahia, Brazil in the last 48 h. The closest is 4 km NNE of the city centre (4 km NNE of Santo Antônio de Jesus), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 8 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 70 km NNE (13 km SSE of Feira de Santana) with 6 detections; first seen Sat 1 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.
Across Brazil there are 2,416 fire clusters in the same window, 264 of them in Bahia.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Santo Antônio de Jesus is from the ENE at 8 km/h (gusts 22 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WSW. Relative humidity is 48% and the temperature 32°C.
Santo Antônio de Jesus 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 Santo Antônio de Jesus 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.
