A wildfire was detected about 25.4 km NE of Florida on 12 October 2026, according to satellite monitoring by NASA FIRMS (https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/). The detection recorded 5 fire hotspots and a total fire radiative power (FRP) of 346.7 MW. The estimated severity / alert level is listed as significant.
Such satellite detections may indicate active fire behavior or smoldering areas and could be used to prioritize further monitoring. Observations from space do not by themselves confirm on-the-ground impacts; conditions on site may vary and could change over time.
For public safety follow updates from local authorities and emergency services for current information, and call 911 for immediate emergencies. Stay away from the detected area, keep windows closed against possible smoke, do not approach open flames, and be ready to evacuate if advised. These actions may reduce risk while the situation is being monitored.
