Summary
[edit]DescriptionWildfire in Var department - France (Copernicus).jpg |
English: Since the beginning of August, the Mediterranean basin is hit by a severe heatwave. On 16 August, a fire broke out in South-eastern France, near the Riviera resort of Saint Tropez. The rapidly advancing wildfire caused thousands of people to evacuate from their homes or from camping sites. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 17 August 2021, shows the burn scar from the wildfire together with a large smoke cloud that is moving towards the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The Rapid Mapping module of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service has been tasked to produce detailed maps of the areas affected to support the operations of the hundreds of firefighters that are deployed |
