editDescriptionSpain plagued by the wildfires in summer of 2022.jpg |
English: The wildfire crisis which started in Europe at the beginning of June is not over yet. According to data from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), one of the modules of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), in 2022 more than 662,000 hectares have burnt in EU countries (data updated on 13 August). Spain is the European nation most affected, with more than 250,000 ha burned, and wildfires continue to rage across the country. As shown in this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 18 August, a new disastrous fire is ongoing near Bejis, in the Valencian Autonomous Community. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping team has been activated (EMSR625) by the Spanish authorities to support monitoring this wildfire. All the details are available here. |
