Burning near the municipality of Água Fria de Goiás in Brazil, a 350-hectare (865-acre) wildfire has officially ended after a three-day run that averaged an estimated 117 hectares per day of expansion. Satellites monitoring the incident picked up a moderate heat signature from the active front, alongside two separate thermal detections over a 48-hour period that outlined the perimeter's immediate spread.

This incident contributes to a broader national total of 5,866,295 hectares burned across the country so far in 2026, a figure that remains 81% below the two-decade average.
