Geographic Context

This fire event occurred near Santana (approximately 50 km away) in Brazil, an area where deforestation, agricultural practices, and dry season conditions contribute to wildfire frequency. An estimated 100 people live within 50 km of the event location, placing this in the "minor" population impact tier.

Event Assessment

This event is a large-scale wildfire with a fire radiative power (FRP) of 1932 MW, indicating extreme heat output and rapid fire spread. Calamity.live has classified it as "critical" severity with a severity value of 100. The computed Calamity Score is 49 out of 100, reflecting a moderate-impact event. The primary scoring components are: intensity (95), historical (80), population (10). Data for this event was sourced from firms, one of the 250 scientific monitoring sources aggregated by Calamity.live.

Regional Monitoring Context

Brazil has a documented history of fire events. Wildfire activity in the region is monitored through NASA FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System), which provides near-real-time active fire data from MODIS and VIIRS satellites. Fire behavior is influenced by vegetation type, moisture content, wind patterns, and terrain — all factors that determine whether an initial ignition becomes a major event.

Safety Information

If a wildfire is approaching: follow evacuation orders immediately. Do not wait to see the fire. Close all windows and doors, remove combustible materials from around your home, and have an emergency go-bag ready. Air quality can deteriorate rapidly even at distance from the fire front — monitor local air quality advisories.
