Satellite images show damage from forest fires in Europe

Satellite images show the damage caused by the forest fires that reach the countries of Europe during extreme summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

In the first record, from the 8th of July, it is possible to see the vegetation of the Guilhôs region, in France before the fires.

Five days later, the images show only the smoke generated by a fire outbreak in the place.

In this week’s satellite photos, the land appears consumed by flames.

Still in France, but now in the Late Debúsh region, a recording from the 8th of July shows the plant area intact.

On the 13th of July, a fire breaks out, sending dark smoke towards the sea.

On the 18th, satellite records reveal that much of the vegetation has already been destroyed by the advancing fire, which was still active in some spots at the time.

At Spain at the beginning of the month, the scenery was also covered by vegetation.

After two weeks, part of the flora was already consumed by fire.

In a satellite photo taken this week, it is noted that the scene of destruction has spread across the site.

Firefighters are still fighting hotspots in Spain, but the heat doesn’t let up.
