Likely agricultural burning near Baḥarkah (IQ) - October 24, 2026
Likely agricultural burning: many separate fields being burned for days, or a small fire among such fields. Satellites see it as heat; the hectares are the sum of those fields, not one continuous wildfire.
Satellites recorded a wildfire near Baḥarkah (IQ) from 24-10-2026 12:29 to 24-10-2026 12:29 (UTC). The measured heat zone covered roughly 248 ha (an upper bound based on pixel size, not an official fire perimeter). The event counted 3 satellite detections (MODIS).

Observed by
This fire was seen by 1 satellite source(s): MODIS. Polar satellites deliver sharp measurements but pass over a few times a day; geostationary satellites watch continuously with a coarser pixel.
How these figures are produced
FireSignal groups individual satellite detections into a single fire event. The heat zone is the sum of the measured pixels and is therefore an upper bound: it says where heat was observed, not how many hectares actually burned. Official figures from fire services or authorities are usually lower. Cloud and thick smoke block the view, so there is always a gap between two observations.
