The story so far

A moderate-intensity wildfire that burned in Guyana near Rest of Region 7 has officially ended. Over its two-day burning period following its start on November 9, 2026, the fire reached an estimated size of 550 hectares, or 1,359 acres, based on satellite hotspots. Satellites recorded a moderate heat signature from the fire front during its activity.

The incident occurred amid the typical fire season, which is the dry season. Satellite monitoring over the forty-eight-hour window captured a single heat detection nearby, reflecting the localized scale of the event before it concluded.

In context

This wildfire burned in Guyana for 2 days. In total it burned about 550 ha (1,359 acres) — around 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.
