Satellite image reveals destruction of Portugal's forests

FireOctThe Forest Fire Laboratory has released an image of the effects of the fires that plagued Portugal this summer.

The fire-damaged areas clearly are visible in the image (below) taken just after the October 15th fires were put out.

The NASA satellite image, just released and shared on social media networks, focuses on central Portugal and shows a series of brown spots in those areas hit by fires.

In the midst of the burned areas, some signs of recovery are visible, notably in Pedrógão and Góis.
