Fires near Uşak right now
NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 16 thermal hotspots in 13 separate clusters within 80 km of Uşak, Turkey in the last 24 h. The closest is 23 km SSW of the city centre (23 km SSW of Uşak), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 2 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 24 km NNE (24 km NNE of Uşak) with 2 detections; first seen Sun 2 pm and last seen Sun 2 pm local time.
Across Turkey there are 195 fire clusters in the same window, 8 of them in Uşak.

Smoke and wind
Wind at Uşak is from the NNE at 5 km/h (gusts 10 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the SSW. Relative humidity is 74% and the temperature 10°C.
Uşak 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 Uşak 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.
