13 fire pixels detected · FRP: 156 MW · ~1.8 km²
Geographic Context
This fire event occurred near Lumding Railway Colony (approximately 16 km away) in India, an area that experiences a range of natural hazards. An estimated 5.9K people live within 20 km of the event location, placing this in the "significant" population impact tier.
Event Assessment
This event is a significant wildfire detected by satellite with a fire radiative power of 156 MW, suggesting active, intense burning across multiple detection pixels. Calamity.live has classified it as "high" severity with a severity value of 44.128. The computed Calamity Score is 35 out of 100, suggesting contained impact at this time. The primary scoring components are: intensity (60), historical (30), population (25). Data for this event was sourced from firms, one of the 250 scientific monitoring sources aggregated by Calamity.live.
Regional Monitoring Context
India 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.
