In context
This wildfire burned in Papua New Guinea for 2 days. In total it burned about 150 ha (371 acres) — around 1.5 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.
We'll email you if it grows, if it gets more contained, or if it goes out.
At most one alert every 6 hours, and only when something changes.
