Fires near Tire right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 2 thermal hotspots in 1 separate cluster within 80 km of Tire, İzmir Province, Turkey in the last 24 h. The closest is 45 km SE of the city centre (18 km WSW of Nazilli), with 2 detections and a peak fire radiative power of 4 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.
Every nearby cluster is low intensity (peak under 10 MW), which is typical of agricultural or garden burning, industrial heat sources such as steel works or flares, or small fires rather than a spreading wildfire.
Across Turkey there are 195 fire clusters in the same window, 1 of them in İzmir Province.
| Fire cluster | From city | Detections | Peak FRP | First seen | Last seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 km WSW of Nazilli | 45 km SE | 2 | 4 MW | Sun 2:08 pm | Sun 2:08 pm |
Smoke and wind
Wind at Tire is from the ESE at 3 km/h (gusts 6 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the WNW. Relative humidity is 91% and the temperature 13°C.
Tire 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 Tire 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 European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.
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.
