What matters here

Official instruction

Confirmed

EMA · Plan INFOCA lists an incident near this place with the status “ESTABILIZADO” (confirmed 18:12; first reported Sun 13 Sept, 12:38).
No satellite heat has been detected near this place in the last 48 hours. Cloud or smoke can hide a fire from a pass.
The official list still shows that fire as “ESTABILIZADO”. Satellites saw it burn about 1.5 km from this place: with that status and at that distance it adds nothing to the index.
EMA · Plan INFOCA lists 6 aircraft, 6 vehicles and 8 crews assigned to the incident (18:12). Assigned resources show that work is under way; they do not measure how severe the fire is. They are not counted in the index because the fire is not active.
An incident that affected earlier evidence has been declared extinguished by the authorities.
This place lies inside a mapped burned area. Burned-area maps show where fire has been, not where it is now.
