Official resources

  • This page is not an official emergency alert. Use the sources below for life-safety, or call 112 in the EU.
  • Educational purpose only — do your own research through official channels.

If you are nearby

  • Follow national civil-protection and hotel / municipality instructions over any app briefing.
  • Do not drive toward visible smoke or blocked forest roads to “see the fire”.
  • If evacuated or told to leave, take documents, water, and follow designated routes.
  • If air smells of smoke or looks hazy, limit strenuous outdoor activity; keep windows closed.
  • Ask your accommodation about local road and beach-access updates — they often hear first.
  • EUROFIRE is not an emergency alert channel.

How we know

Growth is inferred from operational status and perimeter-control % (not a multi-day satellite growth series). Spread direction / wind is inferred from notes, regional wind regimes, and geography — not a formal fire-behaviour forecast.

Travel caution and smoke risk are derived for briefing only. From reports = explicit authority wording. Estimated = inferred from status, size, and exposure.
