Abstract: We prove the strict localization for a porous medium type equation with a source term, $u_{t}= \nabla(u^ {\sigma} \nabla u)+u^ \beta$ , $x \in \mathbf{R}^ N$ ,

, $\beta >\sigma +1$ , $\sigma>0,$ in the case of arbitrary compactly supported initial functions

. We also otain an estimate of the size of the localization in terms of the support of the initial data $\operatorname{supp}u_0$ and the blow-up time

. Our results extend the well-known one dimensional result of Galaktionov and solve an open question regarding high dimensions.
