12 fire pixels detected · FRP: 320 MW · ~1.7 km²
Geographic Context
This fire event occurred near Araguaína (approximately 49 km away) in Brazil, an area where deforestation, agricultural practices, and dry season conditions contribute to wildfire frequency.
Event Assessment
This event is a significant wildfire detected by satellite with a fire radiative power of 320 MW, suggesting active, intense burning across multiple detection pixels. Calamity.live has classified it as "high" severity with a severity value of 75.91400000000002. The computed Calamity Score is 27 out of 100, suggesting contained impact at this time. The primary scoring components are: 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
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.
