Fires near Viña del Mar right now
No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Viña del Mar, Valparaiso, Chile in the last 24 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 82 km ESE (9 km N of Quilicura), with 2 detections. A clear result only covers satellite passes: small fires, fires under cloud and fires that start after the last overpass will not show yet.
Across Chile there are 21 fire clusters in the same window, 1 of them in Valparaiso.
Smoke and wind
Wind at Viña del Mar is from the S at 9 km/h (gusts 19 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the N. Relative humidity is 80% and the temperature 18°C.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Viña del Mar 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.
