🛰️ CAL FIRE is reviewing early FireSat imagery from Earth Fire Alliance. The satellites are designed to detect small, early-stage fires and provide rapid wildfire intelligence to support detection and decision-making. Learn more about FireSat and see the images: bit.ly/FireSatImages

Graphic announcing FireSat’s first active-fire imagery from space. A pale green terrain map forms the background, with two enlarged satellite images showing bright heat signatures from an active fire. The FireSat and CAL FIRE logos appear at the top. Text reads: “Satellites captures first active fire imagery” and “The first three operational FireSat satellites have captured their first views of active fire from space.”

Two-panel graphic showing satellite detection of active fires. The top panel, branded Muon Space and Earth Fire Alliance, uses a grayscale terrain map with multiple highlighted hotspots and enlarged examples labeled “high intensity hotspot” and “low intensity hotspot.” The bottom panel shows a terrain map with two enlarged satellite views of a fire, labeled MWIR1 and LWIR, where the active fire appears as a bright white heat signature. Small inset maps show the general locations of the detections.
