Summary[edit]
DescriptionA wildfire affected Pyrénées-Orientales in France.jpg |
English: On 16 April 2023, a wildfire broke out in the hills between Cerbère and Banyuls-sur-Mer in the Pyrénées-Orientales region of France and crossed the Spanish border. The fire spread quickly, fuelled by dry vegetation and strong winds. Despite the best efforts of over 500 firefighters from various regions of France and Spain, the flames ravaged over 930 hectares of land, equivalent to more than 2,000 football fields. Two houses were damaged, and 300 people were forced to evacuate their homes, with 12 of them needing to be rehoused. The burn scar is visible in this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 Satellites on 17 April. Copernicus provides crucial data for fire prevention and preparedness, supporting the development of early warning systems and fire risk assessments. |
