An active wildfire is currently burning near Trios, Brazil, having scorched 330 hectares, or 815 acres, since it started on October 14, 2026. Orbiting satellites are currently picking up a moderate heat signature from the active front, alongside 16 nearby heat detections recorded over the past 48 hours that trace the recent spread of the blaze.
