Overview

• In Chapada dos Veadeiros (Cavalcante, GO), about 100 responders are working in 24-hour rotations to hold three fire lines outside the national park after roughly 1,800 hectares burned in difficult, mountainous terrain.
• In Mato Grosso do Sul, fires have consumed about 3,000 hectares in the Parque Estadual das Nascentes do Rio Taquari—around 10% of the unit—while a separate front in Serra do Amolar has burned for five days with federal brigades and aircraft engaged; authorities cite lightning as a likely ignition in parts of the region.
• In São José do Rio Preto (SP), more than 50,000 square meters burned in the state forest as an agricultural plane and a Military Police helicopter conducted water drops, and police with the Public Ministry opened a probe after firefighters encountered four men in the reserve.
• In Cametá (PA), a fire that has destroyed over 30 hectares and killed wildlife is advancing toward a residential complex of about 1,000 homes, with civil defense, environmental teams and firefighters deploying water trucks as smoke reduces visibility and residents report breathing difficulties.
• In Belo Horizonte (MG), a nighttime blaze that started in a tire shop spread to a neighboring auto parts store on Avenida Vilarinho, prompting lane closures and the shutdown of a Move station during ongoing overhaul operations, with structural collapse risk reported but no injuries.
