Estimated consequences

Affected area: about 311 km² (accumulated 375 m satellite pixels — order of magnitude; the actually burnt area may differ).
Intensity: peak of 157.3 MW on a single detection; the fire is currently stable (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 10/08 00:26 UTC to 12/08 00:05 UTC (48-hour rolling window).
