Wildfire status near Dubrovnik, Croatia
Check recent thermal detections, confirmed firefighting updates, smoke, wind and possible road effects around Dubrovnik.
Quick answer: For Dubrovnik we check current satellite thermal anomalies, public official updates, wind, smoke and road context. An empty feed is not proof that there is no fire.

Emergency: If you can see flames, a new smoke column or immediate danger, call 112 or 193. Do not wait for confirmation on a map.
Wildfire near Dubrovnik today: how the status is checked
We first load recent NASA FIRMS detections and calculate their distance from the centre of Dubrovnik. Automated detections remain clearly separate from incidents confirmed by Croatian emergency services.
This local page brings together nearby fire signals, live status, the map and smoke context for Dubrovnik. Observation time matters because satellites do not provide continuous coverage.
Local wildfire context: Dubrovnik and the surrounding area
During summer, dry Mediterranean vegetation, heat and wind can accelerate wildfire spread. Wind direction and gusts, especially the bora and sirocco, are important together with possible effects on coastal roads.
Dubrovnik belongs to Dubrovačko-neretvanska županija. The local view covers a 50 km radius and may include nearby detections across an administrative border. This radius is not an operational incident boundary.
What we monitor around Dubrovnik

aerial firefighting activity
Read this layer together with its source, observation time and local context.
Thermal detections
VIIRS and MODIS observations, distance, fire radiative power when available and satellite pass time.
Official status
HVZ/DVOC and public local updates, kept separate from automated satellite detection.
Wind and smoke
Conditions that can influence fire spread and transport smoke towards populated places.
Aircraft, roads and cameras
Publicly observed flights and traffic context, with clear warnings about incomplete or delayed data.
What do active, contained or extinguished mean?
Active, contained, under control, mop-up and extinguished are operational terms that only the responsible authorities can confirm. Požari.info does not infer them from a coloured point or an aircraft position.
A thermal anomaly may indicate fire or a different heat source. Conversely, cloud, smoke or the timing of a satellite pass can hide a real event.

Frequently asked questions — Dubrovnik
Is there a confirmed wildfire near Dubrovnik right now?
The live panel shows the newest satellite detections. Confirm the incident and its operational status through the linked Croatian official sources.
Why can I smell smoke if the map shows no fire?
Smoke can travel a long distance and a satellite pass may be delayed or obscured. If you see a new smoke column, call 112 or 193.
Does an aircraft on the map prove that it is fighting a fire?
No. A public position only means an observed flight. Croatia’s Ministry of Defence and emergency services confirm official deployment.
