Fires near Xinmin right now

NASA's VIIRS sensors detected 35 thermal hotspots in 18 separate clusters within 80 km of Xinmin, Liaoning, China in the last 48 h. The closest is 13 km NNW of the city centre (13 km NNW of Xinmin), with 1 detection and a peak fire radiative power of 11 MW, which is low-intensity for a single 375 m pixel.

3 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 69 km S (14 km WNW of Liaoyang) with 8 detections; first seen Sat 12 pm and last seen Sun 12 pm local time.

Across China there are 854 fire clusters in the same window, 70 of them in Liaoning.

Smoke and wind

Wind at Xinmin is from the N at 6 km/h (gusts 9 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the S. Relative humidity is 50% and the temperature 8°C.

Xinmin 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 Xinmin 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.
