Burning across a span of 650 hectares (1,606 acres) near Novo Santo Antônio, Brazil, an active wildfire has maintained an average daily growth of approximately 325 hectares per day over its two days of burning since starting on September 29, 2026.
Satellites are picking up a low heat signature from the active front, alongside 29 heat detections clustered nearby over the past 48 hours to indicate the current spread of the blaze.
This incident occurs within the region's typical fire season, which runs from August to October, though it contributes to a wider national context where 7,845,359 hectares have burned so far in 2026, marking a total 75% below the two-decade average.
