A fire has spread in Brazil's sugarcane fields
The Sao Paulo state government says the fires are spreading due to the drying of fields and high temperatures during the dry season.
Amid high temperatures and dry weather in Brazil, massive fires have broken out in sugarcane fields in the state of Sao Paulo. In this situation, the state authorities have issued a 'high alert' in 36 cities of the region.

After the fire broke out in the sugarcane fields on Saturday, thick smoke quickly spread over the surrounding towns. In this situation, the officials have banned all kinds of sports in the open field.

The ban led to the cancellation of a Brazilian football championship match in Hibeiro Preto, a city west of Sao Paulo.
