The story so far

About 15 km northwest of São Pedro.

Having burned itself out after starting on November 1, 2026, a wildfire near São Pedro in Brazil has now ended. Satellites previously picked up a moderate heat signature from the front, alongside 34 heat detections in the surrounding area over the final 48 hours that pointed to a rough satellite-estimated footprint of 350 hectares, or 865 acres.

This incident unfolded just outside the region's typical fire season, which traditionally runs from August to October. Nationally, the broader picture shows a more subdued year for fire activity across Brazil, with 11,573,101 hectares burned so far in 2026, placing the total burned area 63% below the two-decade average.

In context

This wildfire burned in Brazil for 1 day. In total it burned about 350 ha (865 acres) — around 3.5 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.
