A few days ago, several news portals reported about a reed fire close to Fonyód, Hungary. Firefighters put out the flames with hard work, but still, about 120 hectares of land were burned down.
Even in this case, the Sentinel-2 satellites can help many stakeholders to map the damage, as an area of this size can be clearly seen on satellite images. Let’s see how the fields looked like from space!
