Fires near Toba Tek Singh right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 44 thermal hotspots in 14 separate clusters within 80 km of Toba Tek Singh, Punjab, Pakistan in the last 24 h. The closest is 32 km WSW of the city centre (32 km WSW of Toba Tek Singh), with 1 detection 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.
The largest nearby cluster by detections is 61 km SW (34 km WNW of Mian Channun) with 16 detections; first seen Sun 12 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.
Across Pakistan there are 105 fire clusters in the same window, 93 of them in Punjab.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Toba Tek Singh is from the NNE at 2 km/h (gusts 3 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSW. Relative humidity is 88% and the temperature 18°C.
Toba Tek Singh 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 Toba Tek Singh 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.
