Summary

[edit]
Description
English: These images, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellites, show the smoke cloud generated by the ongoing wildfires in the Calabria Region in southern Italy and a large burn scar in the Aspromonte National Park. As a consequence of high temperatures and strong winds, numerous fires broke out in late July and early August. The worst affected areas are Sardinia and Calabria. The Aspromonte National Park has been heavily impacted by the fires. Two people died and, according to data from EFFIS, the European Forest Fire Information System managed by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, more than 40 km2 of valuable forests have been devoured by flames. More than 2,500 firefighters have been mobilised to contain the blazes throughout the area, but some of them are still not under control. Data from Copernicus services and satellite missions provide helpful information for monitoring wildfires and assessing the damage they are causing.
