Major Wildfire
60 fire pixels detected · FRP: 160 MW · ~8.4 km²
Geographic Context
This fire event occurred at coordinates -17.10°, 125.37°.
Event Assessment
This event is a significant wildfire detected by satellite with a fire radiative power of 160 MW, suggesting active, intense burning across multiple detection pixels. Calamity.live has classified it as "critical" severity with a severity value of 75.993. The computed Calamity Score is 41 out of 100, reflecting a moderate-impact event. The primary scoring components are: cascading (70), intensity (60), historical (30). Data for this event was sourced from firms, one of the 250 scientific monitoring sources aggregated by Calamity.live.
Regional Monitoring Context
This fire event is being tracked through Calamity.live's global monitoring network, which aggregates data from 250 scientific sources. Real-time monitoring and multi-source verification help ensure data accuracy and timely reporting of significant natural hazard events worldwide.
Cascade Risk Analysis
This event may trigger secondary hazards through cascade effects. Cascade detection is an automated process that evaluates how primary disasters can trigger secondary events — for example, earthquakes triggering landslides, or volcanic eruptions causing lahars and pyroclastic flows. These secondary hazards can sometimes pose a greater threat than the initial event, particularly in mountainous terrain or densely populated areas.

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.
