Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Mapping is a service funded by European Commission aimed at providing actors in the management of natural and man-made disasters, in particular Civil Protection Authorities and Humanitarian Aid actors, with mapping products based on satellite imagery.
In #Rhodes estimated burned area is 18155ha.
Looking at the fire fuel data it becomes clear how much the situation could worsen.
While people fleeing for their lives, fighting for their homes, #Ryanair continues to fly people to Rhodes for just 26GBP.

Fires affecting Palermo airport. We can combine the MODIS & VIIRS data, based on NASA
#FIRMS, with fuels (aka vegetation) to see how brush and short grass sustains the fire.
