Paraguay is facing one of the harshest drought seasons in recent years, a situation that becomes even more tragic with the spread of fire outbreaks in different parts of the country
There are several organizations that make a desperate call not to burn pastures and to take the necessary precautions to prevent fires of another nature, such as the one registered this Friday at the Cateura landfill
This is just one of the many situations that triggers what, for those on the front lines of the battle against fire, is the result of human irresponsibility.
The Directorate of Meteorology and Hydrology reported this Saturday six major sources of fire in the latest satellite image captured by GOES-16. Five of them in the Paraguayan Chaco, an area that is also hit by the lack of water.
In Alto Paraná the flames also consumed approximately 50 hectares of a private property distant about 10 kilometers from the PY07 route, on the way to Santa Elena Country
The report on heat sources in the Republic of Paraguay indicates that during the last 12 hours there were 1,858 active sources.
According to the exposed data, only in Presidente Hayes, 3,509 heat sources were registered during the last 24 hours. 296 were reported in Caazapá, 227 in Ñeembucú and 229 in Alto Paraguay.
The Communications and Alarm Center of the Paraguayan Voluntary Firefighters Corps reported a total of 1,734 fire sources in the national territory this Sunday. They indicated that the firefighters are exceeded by the number of accidents that were registered in recent days.
This Sunday, the emergency area of the Voluntary Fire Department reported that there are a total of 1,734 fire sources throughout the national territory, which is filling the entire country with smoke. This situation is overwhelming mainly in the Central department.
In and around the Capital, the level of air pollution is visible and, according to the sensors of the organization La Calidad del Aire en Paraguay, in several cities, in addition to Asunción, breathing it is already unhealthy.
