The "Europe Wildfires Overview (June-August 2024)" map depicts the locations of wildfire throughout Europe in the summer of 2024, specifically focusing on regions in the south of Europe and showcasing the response from the European Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM).
Symbols on the map denote the deployment of rescEU resources, along with ground forest firefighting units and other emergency response measures.
Significant fire damage has been observed in regions such as Greece and Türkiye, as well as certain parts of Italy, where several rescEU missions were carried out. The marked areas on the map indicate the activation of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) - notably in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania, Greece and Portugal - which plays a crucial role in quickly mapping and evaluating the extent of wildfire damage.
This map is part of ongoing efforts by the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) to monitor and manage disasters.
