English: These images, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellites on 16 August 2022, show the smoke cloud generated by the ongoing wildfire in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park in central Portugal. The wildfire started on 6 August near the city of Covilhã. According to data published by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), more than 14,000 ha had burnt as of 14 August. In the afternoon of 15 August, the fire restarted, generating a massive smoke cloud that moved westwards, travelling more than 300 km and reaching the city of Madrid. More than one thousand firefighters are currently working to contain the fire, and several villages have been evacuated. CEMS is continuing to monitor the affected area. All the details are available here. |
