Overview

• Roughly 100 people from the fire department, ICMBio, Ibama and local volunteer brigades are engaged, with three active lines of fire in the area.
• Firefighters estimate the burned area exceeds 1,800 hectares near the road to Colinas do Sul.
• Steep, hard-to-access terrain is forcing crews to hike long distances to reach hotspots, slowing suppression efforts.
