Every Wildfire in Croatia — Satellite-Mapped

Every fire Copernicus satellites have mapped across Croatia, from the EU's EFFIS programme — updated every few minutes — plus fires confirmed in the Croatian fire service's (HVZ) own bulletins.

5 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.

🇪🇺 FireRisk alerts now cover Croatia — they run on the EU's own EFFIS/Copernicus satellite data and the EEA's air-quality index.

Five seconds now, a head start when it matters: type your email, and we watch this exact address against the same official feeds firefighters use, around the clock. A new fire nearby, dangerous fire weather, a fire turning your way — we email you when official feeds report it. 100% free, unsubscribe anytime.

You’re signed up for free alerts. Here’s exactly what they cover:

⚡

A fire starts nearby

We'll email you the moment official feeds report a new wildfire close to your home.

🚩

Dangerous fire weather

We'll email you on hot, dry, windy days when fires spread fastest (officially called a 'Red Flag Warning').

📈

A nearby fire grows fast

We'll email you if a fire near you suddenly gets bigger or turns your way.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

State Firefighting Operational Center (DVOC) reports

Unlike the rest of this page (satellite mapping), these are real interventions from the Croatian Firefighting Association's own daily report.

These entries are extracted from the report with AI assistance and checked against the source text — casualty figures render only once independently confirmed.

How EFFIS maps wildfires

Satellite-mapped, not agency reports

No official name or containment status — we show the nearest municipality and county.

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.

Croatia wildfires — FAQ

Is this Croatia 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 county 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 Croatian address?

Yes — FireRisk alerts now cover Croatia, 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.
