Check local information before travelling
Satellite detections help locate observed heat sources. They do not establish that a road or trail is open, or provide an official evacuation notice. Check the relevant authority and local instructions. No detection does not guarantee there is no fire.
The Federal Civil Protection Administration covers the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also consult the competent authority for your municipality; this is not a single nationwide incident feed.

Latest significant fires
How do I know if there is a fire near me in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
kanari continuously fuses thermal detections from satellites (VIIRS at 375 m resolution, geostationary GOES and Meteosat MTG re-scanning every 10 minutes) with witness reports published on social networks, each verified twice by AI before being shown. A new ignition can appear on the map within minutes of its first signals — often before the press.
You can also track water bombers live while they operate. If you witness a fire starting, call your local emergency number first (112 in Europe, 911 in North America).
