Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 25 June 2022, shows the area affected by the wildfire that ravaged the province of Zamora, in Castilla y León (Spain). The fire started on 15 June because of an electrical storm and persisted for several days due to adverse weather conditions. According to the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), whose Rapid Mapping Team was activated on 17 June by the Operational Coordination Centre (CECOP) of the Directorate General of Civil Protection and Emergencies of Spain, 25,216 hectares of land have been burnt. Centro Integrado de FP de Almázcara, a member of the Copernicus Academy, estimates that this is one of the largest wildfires in Spain’s recent history. In June 2022 alone, the overall burn scar mapped by CEMS for the Rapid Mapping activations in Spain is 47,826.70 hectares. A detailed report covering these activations has been published by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service.
