Estimated consequences

• Affected area: about 74 km² (accumulated 375 m satellite pixels — order of magnitude; the actually burnt area may differ).
• Intensity: peak of 290.9 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 12/11 10:42 UTC to 14/11 22:39 UTC (48-hour rolling window).
