The story so far

Burning actively for two days since its start on November 7, 2026, an active wildfire near Rest of Region 7 in Guyana is producing an intense heat signature from its peak fire radiative power, as satellites pick up 24 heat detections clustered nearby over the past 48 hours. The blaze has reached an estimated size of roughly 550 hectares, or 1,359 acres, calculated by satellite estimate.

This ongoing fire activity is occurring within the region's typical fire season, which is the dry season.

In context

This wildfire has been burning in Guyana for 2 days. So far it has affected roughly 550 ha (1,359 acres) — about 5.5 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.
