In context
This wildfire has been burning in Papua New Guinea for 1 day. So far it has affected roughly 350 ha (865 acres) — about 3.5 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.
We'll email you if it grows, if it gets more contained, or if it goes out.
At most one alert every 6 hours, and only when something changes.
