The story so far

Ending a two-day run that started on November 3, 2026, a wildfire near Municipio Santa Rosa del Sara in Bolivia has concluded its brief course during the dry season. Over its two days of burning, satellites detected 10 heat signatures nearby, showing the extent of the fire's spread before it ended, while instruments registered a moderate heat intensity from the front.

By satellite estimate, the incident affected an estimated 300 hectares, which translates to 741 acres. This localized event unfolds against a much broader national backdrop, as Bolivia has seen 1,623,271 hectares burned so far in 2026, a figure that remains 75% below the country's two-decade average.

In context

This wildfire burned in Bolivia for 2 days. In total it burned about 300 ha (741 acres) — around 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.
