A low-intensity wildfire remains active near Loma de Cabrera in the Dominican Republic after igniting on August 30, 2026. Satellites are picking up a low heat signature from the front, while 4 satellites FIRMS heat detections over the past 48 hours indicate where the fire has spread in the area. Burning at a size of 100 hectares, or 247 acres, the incident unfolds against the backdrop of the region's typical fire season, which occurs during the dry season.
In context
This wildfire burned in Dominican Republic for 2 days. In total it burned about 150 ha (371 acres) — around 1.5 km².
Close to the tropics, fires tend to follow the dry season and are often linked to land-clearing rather than a single summer peak.
