What the satellites saw
Every pixel VIIRS returned inside 36 km of this fire: 164 in daylight, 421 on the night pass. A pixel is 375 m, so the squares are drawn at the size the measurement has.
Where
Coastline and borders from Natural Earth at 110 m — regional context, not a survey. Each layer above is its own address, so a view can be shared.
A fire was first detected here at 03:53 UTC on 1 November 2026, 78 km SW of Baião in Pará, Brazil. At its most recent pass it was putting out 9,203 megawatts of radiative power across 566 separate satellite detections.
The detections span about 31.5 km of ground.
No settlement in our index has population recorded within 25 km.
When the satellite first saw it
In local solar time the first detection falls at 00:32, which is the dead of night. VIIRS passes about 01:30 and 13:30 local solar, so this is when the satellite looked: the fire began somewhere in the twelve hours before.
It was seen across 13.6 hours of satellite passes.
72% of the detections came from the night pass.
What this ground has done before
This ground has burned before. Our archive records fire here in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, across 114 days, most recently on 2026-10-29.
Wind and weather
At the fire, wind was 9 km/h from the NNE, carrying smoke and embers towards the SSW. Temperature 26°C, relative humidity 80%.
Twelve hours on, the forecast has wind at 8 km/h from the ENE. These are model figures at roughly 10 km resolution, not a reading taken at the fire.
How it compares
By radiative power this is the 6th largest fire burning anywhere on Earth in the current window.
Where analysis would go
Our screening pass scores this fire 0.55. The score ranks where analysis is worth spending.

What else this page knows
Each of these is attached to every fire, including this one.
A detection is a heat signature at 375 m, about three hours behind the satellite. Cloud, smoke and canopy hide fires; each satellite passes twice a day. Not for evacuation or life-safety decisions — follow your local fire service.
