1482 fire pixels detected · FRP: 10199 MW · ~207.5 km²
Geographic Context
This fire event occurred near Hibbing (approximately 149 km away) in United States, an area where drought conditions, high temperatures, and dry vegetation frequently combine to create elevated wildfire risk.
Event Assessment
This event is a large-scale wildfire with a fire radiative power (FRP) of 10199 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 46 out of 100, reflecting a moderate-impact event. The primary scoring components are: intensity (95), historical (80). Data for this event was sourced from firms, one of the 250 scientific monitoring sources aggregated by Calamity.live.
Regional Monitoring Context
United States 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.
