## Caption

#Portugal is experiencing multiple #wildfires right now, causing huge plumes of smoke visible from #space.

Emergency services are battling the fires to try and get them under control.

#MTGI1 captured the fires and resulting smoke between 18:00 - 00:00 UTC yesterday. 🔥

Please note: MTG-I1’s FCI imagery has been declared pre-operational after preliminary validation, however, this data is still undergoing testing and is not for operational use at this time. 🛰️
