Every Wildfire in Greece — Satellite-Mapped

Every fire Copernicus satellites have mapped across Greece, from the EU's EFFIS programme — updated every few minutes — plus incidents reported live by the Hellenic Fire Service.

1 heat detections right now (satellite)

Live satellite heat seen on these fires in the last two days — unlike the weekly total above, this shows what may still be burning right now

The live map below can show a few more markers than the count above — it also includes fresh satellite heat detections fire crews haven't confirmed yet.

The newest satellite mapping available — each flame marks the centre of the detected burn area, not a live fire edge.

How our satellite detection works

Three independent satellite systems watch Europe for heat. Here is how a detection becomes something worth showing you.

3 independent satellite systemsRescanned every 10 minutesOfficial EU & NASA data
1
Satellites watch day and night

NASA's VIIRS satellites pass over several times a day, Europe's Meteosat rescans every 10 minutes, and Sentinel-3 adds its own independent passes. Different orbits, different sensors — none relies on the others.

2
They check each other

One satellite seeing heat can be a glitch, sun glare, or a factory roof. When independent systems see heat in the same place, the signal is much stronger — one system's mistake never becomes your alert.

3
We say what it likely is — honestly

Each detection is checked against what sits under it (forest, farmland, industry) and how it behaves over time, then labelled plainly: likely vegetation fire, possible fire / unverified heat, or a known static heat source that is not a fire. Only a fire service can confirm a wildfire.

4
You see the area, not just a dot

On the map, tracked heat becomes a shape — the satellite-detected heat extent — with plain words on it, and whether the detections are expanding. Shapes show where satellites see heat, not exact fire boundaries.

▶ Watch how it works

English narration · under 60 seconds

Likely and possible fires are inferred from satellite thermal detections and environmental data. They may not represent confirmed wildfires or exact fire boundaries. Always follow official emergency authorities and evacuation instructions.

Official source

Hellenic Fire Service forest-fire incidents

Unlike the rest of this page (satellite mapping), these are the real forest-fire incidents firefighters are working right now, with the Fire Service's own official status.

How EFFIS maps wildfires

Satellite-mapped, not agency reports
No official name or containment status — we show the nearest municipality and region.
Sizes in hectares
One hectare is about 2.5 acres.
The flame marks the centre, not the edge
Real fires spread between satellite passes. For emergencies, call 112.

Greece wildfires — FAQ

Is this Greece fire map live?

It shows the newest satellite mapping available — EFFIS (the European Forest Fire Information System) re-maps fires several times a day, and we check it every few minutes. Each flame marks the centre of a satellite-detected burn area, not a live fire's edge. For emergencies, call 112.

Why don't the fires have names?

EFFIS maps fires from satellite imagery rather than agency incident reports, so records carry the nearest municipality and region instead of an official fire name.

What does "hectares mapped" mean?

The burnt area satellites have detected so far for that fire — updated as new passes come in. It is a satellite measurement, not an agency estimate, and fires under a few hectares may not appear.

Can I get FireRisk alerts for a Greek address?

Yes — FireRisk alerts now cover Greece, built on the EU's own EFFIS/Copernicus satellite mapping, satellite heat detections, and official fire-weather warnings. Sign up with your address and you'll get email alerts when a fire is mapped near you.
