Fires near Shangzhi right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 367 thermal hotspots in 36 separate clusters within 80 km of Shangzhi, Heilongjiang, China in the last 48 h. The closest is 9 km NNW of the city centre (15 km NNW of Shangzhi), with 5 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 4 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 50 km WSW (47 km ENE of Yushu) with 251 detections; first seen Sat 12 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.
Across China there are 1,010 fire clusters in the same window, 327 of them in Heilongjiang.

Smoke and wind
Current wind data was unavailable for this page; smoke generally drifts with the wind, so check local conditions.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Shangzhi 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.
