A moderate heat signature is currently being picked up by satellites over an active wildfire burning near Valley of Peace, Belize. Having already consumed 100 hectares, equivalent to 247 acres, the blaze has generated four distinct thermal detections over the past 48 hours.
First reported on September 9, 2026, the fire continues to burn actively through the region's typical fire season, which generally aligns with the dry season.
In context
This wildfire burned in Belize for 2 days. In total it burned about 100 ha (247 acres) — around 1.0 km².
Close to the tropics, fires tend to follow the dry season and are often linked to land-clearing rather than a single summer peak.
