Argentina Wildfires

About wildfires in Argentina

Argentina faces recurring wildfire crises across its diverse landscapes, from the grasslands of Patagonia to the forests of Córdoba and the wetlands of Corrientes. The country's fire season typically peaks during the southern hemisphere's summer and autumn months, from December through April.

The provinces of Córdoba, Corrientes, and Salta are among the most fire-prone regions. In 2022, the Corrientes province suffered devastating fires that burned over 1 million hectares of wetlands and forests. Patagonia's dry, windy conditions create extreme fire danger, with blazes that can spread rapidly across the steppe.

This real-time fire tracker monitors all active hotspots detected by NASA satellites across Argentina's 23 provinces, providing early warning data for firefighters, emergency services, and residents in fire-affected areas.
