Summary[edit]

Description
English: On 12 July 2022, two major wildfires broke out in southwestern France, heavily affecting local communities: more than 16,000 people have been evacuated in total and road closures have been put in place. Despite the magnitude of the fires, no casualties have been reported. According to the Prefect of the Gironde Department (Préfète de la Gironde), more than 1,500 firefighters are working to put out the flames and additional resources are expected to be deployed starting today. This image, acquired on 17 July by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows the burn scar and the active hotspots near La Teste-de-Buch, where the wildfire has reached the beach. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping team has been activated (EMSR592) by the French authorities to support the monitoring of the wildfires, delivering First Estimate, Delineation, and Grading Products for the two Areas of Interest (Landiras and La Teste-de-Buch).
