Estimated consequences

• Affected area: about 68 km² (accumulated 375 m satellite pixels — order of magnitude; the actually burnt area may differ).
• Intensity: peak of 373.1 MW on a single detection; the fire is currently receding (comparing the last two 6-hour periods).
• Smoke: current PM2.5 fine particles over the area: loading… (CAMS / Copernicus). Above 55 µg/m³, air is considered unhealthy.
• Observed activity: from 12/08 00:05 UTC to 14/08 12:04 UTC (48-hour rolling window).
