Fires near Songyuan right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 5 thermal hotspots in 4 separate clusters within 80 km of Songyuan, Jilin, China in the last 24 h. The closest is 65 km WNW of the city centre (62 km WNW of Fuyu), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 9 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.
None of the clusters is within 25 km of the centre, so the city itself is not in the immediate fire area, but smoke can travel hundreds of kilometres.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 76 km S (68 km W of Dehui) with 2 detections; first seen Sun 12 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.
Across China there are 803 fire clusters in the same window, 77 of them in Jilin.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 62 km WNW of Fuyu | 65 km WNW | 1 | 9 MW | Sun 12:23 pm | Sun 12:23 pm |
| 39 km N of Dehui | 74 km ESE | 1 | 24 MW | Sun 12:23 pm | Sun 12:23 pm |
| 20 km NW of Dehui | 75 km SE | 1 | 5 MW | Sun 12:23 pm | Sun 12:23 pm |

Smoke and wind
Wind at Songyuan is from the W at 6 km/h (gusts 14 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the E. Relative humidity is 50% and the temperature 5°C.
Songyuan 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 Songyuan 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.
