September 14: The wildfire has reportedly killed firefighters and is threatening homes alongside the fire area.

September 18: The world's largest tropical wetland is not supposed to burn.

And yet, Brazil's Pantanal is on fire.

Thick smoke rises all around the village of Poconé as the wind whips it into little tornadoes. Fire crackles and races through the brush, jumping from forest to pasture to swamp.

The flames have destroyed some 25,000 square kilometres— roughly four times the area that has burned in California in 2020 so far
