This report describes some of the largest European fires that occurred in 2022, with a special focus on the fire behaviour and the orographic, meteorological and operational conditions, among others, in
which it spread. This analysis revealed the great disparity of policies and functioning capabilities that exist in European countries, many of which result from the importance that fires have in different territories. A reflection of lessons to be learned dedicated to each fire event indicates several aspects that can improve the fire management system, both at the national and European Union levels.
