What this means

NASA EONET tracks wildfires using satellite observations and agency reports. Fire locations are approximate and the burned area can grow or shrink quickly.

GlobalRisk assigns each event a default moderate severity because EONET does not publish an impact rating. Use the original report for the most accurate status.
