@BrownUniversity Interesting study. This is another example of how #wildfire activity is occurring in ecosystems and elevations where it has traditionally been rare, demonstrating the importance of satellite-based monitoring and early detection in expanding fire environments.

A study led by Brown University researchers found that a 2012 wildfire in Africa’s Rwenzori Mountains was likely the first large-scale blaze at the range’s highest elevations in at least 12,000 years — offering new insight into climate, fire and human activity in alpine ecosystems. @Brown_IBES | @Brown_DEEPS brown.edu/news/2026-05-1…

@azwater Drought is one piece of the equation. With an expanding wildland-urban interface and increasingly volatile fire conditions, the challenge is shifting toward earlier detection and enhanced real-time awareness to support faster #wildfire response.

Drought increases the risk of major wildfire events. Learn more about Arizona’s fire season and the associated risks @ ow.ly/oqa350YZKoe #NationalWildfireAwarenessMonth

The Hellenic Fire System successfully launched! 🚀 Just one week after launch, all four satellites are healthy and performing beautifully, sun-pointing, fully charged, and in strong contact with the ground. A strong start for the fleet!

At FIDAE, Chile’s International Air & Space Fair, we joined forces with partners and experts to showcase how #satelliteintelligence can support LATAM. Thank you to @Fuerzaereachile for inviting us!

Behind the scenes, inside our labs, a dedicated team has worked with passion, precision, and determination to build the four satellites that will provide #Greece with a national #wildfiremonitoring system. Stay tuned. Launch is coming this spring!

@ryankatzrosene Definitely a concerning start to the year. With low snowpack and hotter, drier weather ahead, forecasters predict an active #wildfire year in the U.S. The ability to quickly detect ignitions and monitor progress is becoming more important than ever for effective response.

Holy smokes! An incredible start to the 'Wildfire Season' in the US this year - owing to an abnormally hot and snowless winter in some parts of the country.

New in our Wildlife Solution! 🚨 You can open a wildfire snapshot directly in a public @Esri map, no login required! Click on a cluster and publish a snapshot to ArcGIS Online, making it simple to share data with external stakeholders and plug it into existing GIS workflows!

Civil protection and security operations are converging. At #MunichSpaceSummit, we discussed resilience and how space-based capabilities support global challenges. From wildfire tracking to industrial monitoring the need is the same: fast decisions powered by reliable data.

@VanDamCNN @CNN This extreme drought, along with reduced snow pack, is leading to forecasts of a highly active wildfire season in Colorado and across the western US. Satellite detection and monitoring of wildfire spread will be critical to protecting lives and property in the months ahead.

#Colorado's "extreme drought" category has nearly QUADRUPLED in size since last week, while the area under "severe drought" has nearly DOUBLED. This is a troubling trend. #drought #wildfire @CNN

Together with @esa’s #Copernicus Emergency Management Service, we held a workshop to explore how our Wildfire Solution and #thermaldata can strengthen emergency response during fire events. Read @ESA_EO’s article to know more about it 👉 bit.ly/3PQ4njO

The Hellenic Fire System, a dedicated satellite constellation for Greece, will be in orbit in a month, opening a new chapter in wildfire intelligence from space. 🛰️ Built to protect. Designed to see through challenging conditions. A shared project with @MinDigitalGr and @esa.

Know exactly how close fire is🔥 New in our platform: Distance to Assets, a centralized view of wildfire activity across your area of interest, showing proximity to critical infrastructure. Upload assets, via Shapefile/GeoJSON, and track nearby fire risk as conditions evolve.

We joined the exhibition at Athens Metro Station marking 20 years of Greece’s membership in @ESA, a key milestone for the country’s space ecosystem. Next up: the launch of our Hellenic Fire System with @MinDigitalGr a major step for space innovation in Europe 🛰

@NewsOn6 Our thoughts are with the impacted families and crew responding. When routine prescribed burns escalate this quickly, it reinforces the importance of improving wildfire readiness, detection, and real-time fire intelligence.

Dozens of families were forced from their homes as a wildfire tore through Rogers County east of Chelsea, with firefighters saying more than 300 acres have burned. Fire crews say the fire stemmed from a controlled burn that got out of hand with a wind change in the afternoon. At last check, crews were working two fires: one near 290 and 4280, and another to the south near 310 and 4300. Learn about the volunteer efforts here: newson6.com/wildfire-cover…

Protecting Argentina with @rionegrogob! 🇦🇷 Orlando Baez, Head of #SPLIF, Rio Negro's Forest Fire Prevention and Fighting Service, explains how our satellite intelligence is transforming wildfire response on the ground. #patagonia #argentina #incendiosforestales

@CTVCalgary This is great advice for residents! For firefighters, real-time satellite detection and monitoring helps track wildfire activity as it develops, supporting faster, safer, and more informed response decisions.

With wildfire season officially underway, officials offer advice ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…

@TheOklahoman_ As wildfire risk increases, understanding where fires may ignite is critical to managing their spread. Satellite detection and monitoring can help crews track wildfires and make faster, more informed decisions.

The Hellenic Fire System is one step closer to launch 🚀 Following a successful demagnetization campaign, the four CubeSats are now in final preparation ahead of shipment and launch this spring for @MinDigitalGr. News from @ESA_EO 👉bit.ly/4dah6av

@SaraBluewx Wind shifts are changing fire behavior in real time. Satellite monitoring provides responders with critical insight on fire spread to guide suppression efforts and keep operations effective.

The National Fire is still burning in Collier County 🔥 As of 7 this morning, it had reached 24,014 acres with zero percent containment. Winds are starting to shift, so smoke is now blowing across Alligator Ally. Expected low visibility in the area!

@TheOklahoman_ Wildfire seasons are becoming less predictable, and are starting earlier than expected. Continuous monitoring and early detection are increasingly important to help agencies respond quickly before small ignitions escalate.

Wildfire season is just 'beginning' in Oklahoma, officials say oklahoman.com/story/weather/…
