Wildfire season in Ceará
Wildfires across Ceará rise through the long September–December dry season, especially along the Cerrado agricultural frontier. Higher temperatures, low humidity and wind make fires start and spread faster — check the fire-danger level before lighting any fire or working outdoors.
What the Ceará fire map shows
Every fire on this page is an automatic heat detection from NASA satellites (VIIRS and MODIS), grouped into fire events and updated continuously; where official national sources publish data, it is shown alongside. Satellite detections are not verified on the ground — never use them for safety decisions, and always follow the emergency services (call 193).
