Local wildfire overview
Wildfire status near Vis, Croatia
Check recent thermal detections, confirmed firefighting updates, smoke, wind and possible road effects around Vis.
Quick answer: For Vis 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.

A satellite thermal anomaly is not a confirmed wildfire.

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 Vis today: how the status is checked
We first load recent NASA FIRMS detections and calculate their distance from the centre of Vis. 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 Vis. Observation time matters because satellites do not provide continuous coverage.
Local wildfire context: Vis and the surrounding area
On Croatian islands, wind, limited road access and the arrival of additional crews shape the response. The overview therefore connects satellite anomalies, observed aircraft and transport information.
Vis belongs to Splitsko-dalmatinska 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 — Vis
Is there a confirmed wildfire near Vis 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.
