#OMG: A forest fire a few meters from the court interrupts a football match in Brazil

As the devastating forest fires expand more and more throughout the Amazon, with 1,113 new outbreaks being recorded just this weekend, fire and smoke interfere with the daily lives of neighbors in the affected regions. Such was the case during the meeting between the teams Atlético Acreano and Luverdense, of the third division of Brazilian football, which was played this Sunday in the city of Rio Branco (state of Acre), near the border with Bolivia. The game had to be interrupted for approximately seven minutes after the flames approached a few meters from the court.
