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 Otok today: how the status is checked

We first load recent NASA FIRMS detections and calculate their distance from the centre of Otok. 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 Otok. Observation time matters because satellites do not provide continuous coverage.

Local wildfire context: Otok and the surrounding area

In inland Croatia, open-land, forest and agricultural fires and windborne smoke are especially relevant. Satellite signals are always shown with observation time and official context.

Otok belongs to Vukovarsko-srijemska 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.

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 — Otok

Is there a confirmed wildfire near Otok 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.
