Burning across a two-day span near the city of Vertientes, Cuba, a 130-hectare (321-acre) wildfire maintained an average daily growth of approximately 65 hectares before coming to an end. Satellites monitoring the incident picked up a moderate heat signature from the burning front.
In context
This wildfire burned in Cuba for 2 days. In total it burned about 130 ha (321 acres) — around 1.3 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.
