42 fire pixels detected · FRP: 523 MW · ~5.9 km²
Geographic Context
This fire event occurred near Sūsangerd (approximately 34 km away) in Iran, an area that experiences a range of natural hazards. An estimated 1.0K people live within 35 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 523 MW, indicating extreme heat output and rapid fire spread. Calamity.live has classified it as "critical" severity with a severity value of 94.271. The computed Calamity Score is 48 out of 100, reflecting a moderate-impact event. The primary scoring components are: intensity (80), historical (80), population (25). Data for this event was sourced from firms, one of the 250 scientific monitoring sources aggregated by Calamity.live.
Regional Monitoring Context
Iran 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.
