Wildfires in Kosovo

162 fires over 100 hectares with an official perimeter since 2017, adding up to 46,358 hectares burned across 32 municipalities.

Only fires of 100 ha or more get an entry: smaller ones are not in the lists or the entry totals, but they are in the official yearly series.

These figures leave out 3 provisional pages, seen only as heat detections and still without a perimeter. They appear in the lists, marked.

When it burned: year by year, month by month

Hectares with an official perimeter by the fire’s starting month, and the largest fire of each year.
