• In São Paulo state, major blazes hit Bauru, São José do Rio Preto and other cities, prompting a temporary relocation at a hospital in Bauru and large aerial and ground responses at a state forest near Rio Preto.
• Uberlândia residents in Jardim Europa left homes as a vegetation fire reached at least one building and briefly closed a road, with authorities suspecting ignition at an illegal waste-disposal site.
