Satellites are picking up an intense heat signature from an active wildfire burning near Dom Eliseu, Brazil, with five heat detections clustering nearby over the past 48 hours to map its current spread.

In context

This wildfire burned in Brazil for 2 days. In total it burned about 130 ha (321 acres) — around 1.3 km². That size is an estimate from satellite hotspots, not a measured area.

Close to the tropics, fires tend to follow the dry season and are often linked to land-clearing rather than a single summer peak.

Across Brazil, roughly 10,592,460 hectares have burned so far in 2026 — 66% below the two-decade average. Data from Copernicus GWIS.
