Active Wildfires
Fire in Northern ArgentinaCopernicus GWIS | 2026
A fire area in Argentina covered about 231 hectares (571 acres) in the latest Copernicus data. The source date is Sep 26, 2026. NASA satellite heat shown nearby is a separate observation and does not establish current fire status.

Where is the fire?
The marker shows the approximate center of the Copernicus fire area. It helps orient the location, but it is not a fire perimeter, evacuation boundary or live fire front.
About this fire
A fire area in Argentina covered about 231 hectares (571 acres) in Copernicus data. The source date is Sep 26, 2026. Burned area is not the same as the area of active flames or a containment estimate.
The approximate center is 28.16°S, 62.52°W. That point helps orient the map; it is not a fire edge, safety radius or statement about fire movement.
NASA FIRMS heat detections are shown as a separate layer. They can point to recent fire activity or other intense heat sources, but they do not define the Copernicus fire area or prove the fire is still active.

Questions about this fire
Is this a confirmed named wildfire?
Not necessarily. This page is based on a Copernicus burned-area record. The descriptive place name is not an official incident name unless the responsible national or local authority separately identifies the fire that way.
How large is Fire in Northern Argentina?
GWIS reports a burned area of 231 hectares (about 571 acres). Burned area is not the same as the area of active flames.
Does this page show whether the fire is still active?
No. Copernicus shows a recent burned area, but that does not by itself establish current fire behavior, containment, evacuation status, or whether active flames remain.
Where should I check warnings and evacuations in Argentina?
Use the official national and local emergency, civil-protection, or fire-service links on this page. WildfireSignal does not verify evacuation orders, road closures, or safe travel routes.
Why can the satellite map differ from this fire?
NASA FIRMS heat detections and Copernicus burned-area data use different products and update schedules. Nearby satellite heat is not automatically part of this fire area.
