In context
This wildfire burned in Brazil for 4 days. In total it burned about 250 ha (618 acres) — around 2.5 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.
