22 fire pixels detected · FRP: 513 MW · ~3.1 km²

Geographic Context

This fire event occurred near Dibrugarh (approximately 10 km away) in India, an area that experiences a range of natural hazards. An estimated 108.8K people live within 35 km of the event location, placing this in the "severe" population impact tier.

Event Assessment

This event is a large-scale wildfire with a fire radiative power (FRP) of 513 MW, indicating extreme heat output and rapid fire spread. Calamity.live has classified it as "critical" severity with a severity value of 73.285. The computed Calamity Score is 75 out of 100, indicating a significant event requiring close monitoring. The primary scoring components are: intensity (80), historical (80), population (70). 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.

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.
