The story so far

About 15 km west of Ipirá.

A wildfire burning near the city of Ipirá, Brazil, remains active after starting on November 2, 2026. Satellites are picking up a moderate heat signature from the front, alongside 12 heat detections clustered nearby over the past 48 hours that indicate how far the fire has spread. Satellite monitoring also points to an estimated size of 300 hectares, or about 741 acres, for the incident.

The fire is occurring outside the region's typical fire season, which runs from August to October. Its activity unfolds against a broader national backdrop in which 11,573,101 hectares have burned across the country so far in 2026, a figure that sits 63% below the two-decade average.

In context

This wildfire has been burning in Brazil for 1 day. So far it has affected roughly 300 ha (741 acres) — about 3.0 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.

The bigger picture in Brazil

Across Brazil, roughly 11,648,085 hectares have burned so far in 2026 — 62% below the two-decade average. Data from Copernicus GWIS.
