Wildfires in Angola
Situation over the last 30 days
8729 fires detected in Angola over the last 30 days, totalling 4,482,780 hectares of cumulative footprint. The latest satellite detection (NASA FIRMS) dates from October 21 at 05:18 PM.
The savannas in Angola burn every dry season, over huge areas but with fast, low-intensity grass fires, largely lit for farming and grazing. Detections are numerous; destructive forest fires are rare.

These figures come from satellite thermal detection and are not an official tally: only the emergency services of the country concerned are authoritative. The detected footprint overstates the area actually burnt, a pixel counting whole (375 m for VIIRS, 1 km for MODIS) when only an edge burns. A freshly detected fire may not yet carry a place name and will then not appear in this list, though it is already on the map.
