Fires near Yukon right now
No VIIRS thermal hotspots were detected within 80 km of Yukon, Oklahoma, United States in the last 24 h. The nearest detection cluster is about 142 km S (83 km ESE of Lawton), with 1 detection. 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 United States there are 334 fire clusters in the same window, 5 of them in Oklahoma.
Smoke and wind
Wind at Yukon is from the SSE at 10 km/h (gusts 21 km/h), so smoke near the city drifts toward the NNW. Relative humidity is 61% and the temperature 19°C.
Smoke shows up first as PM2.5 on air-quality monitors; the Yukon 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.
InciWeb (inciweb.wildfire.gov) lists federal wildfire incidents. Evacuation orders come from county sheriffs and emergency management, often via Genasys Protect (protect.genasys.com) or local alert apps.
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.
