Raging Fire! Watch Cattle Run for Their Lives!

The dry weather has caused a series of environmental tragedies, particularly in the region of Rio Verde, southwest Goiás. Videos circulating on social media show the devastation caused by wildfires that rapidly spread, consuming vegetation and threatening the lives of animals. In one video, a group of cattle is seen desperately fleeing from the fire that engulfed a farm. The thick smoke also obstructs drivers' visibility on regional highways, increasing the risk of accidents.
The Fire Department has not yet been able to determine the extent of the damage to the vegetation or whether the animals in the video survived. However, several fire outbreaks were identified near GO-333 this past Sunday (8). The extremely dry and hot weather allowed the fire to spread quickly, affecting both public and private lands. Data from the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) revealed that Goiás recorded 855 fire outbreaks over the weekend, with Rio Verde leading the ranking with 117 outbreaks.
