Glamoč fire, October 2025 Glamoč

Out · last measured on 28 Oct 2025

The fire started on 28 October 2025 in Glamoč, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and satellites saw it burning for 1 day. Copernicus mapped a burnt perimeter of 209 hectares from satellite imagery, spread across a single municipality.

It is the 286th largest in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2016 (of 520 with a page). Number 34 in Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2025, of 65.

We have the Copernicus perimeter for this fire, but not yet its hotspots: NASA publishes the yearly hotspot archive only once the year closes. The page picks it up automatically when it is available.

It had gone 0 days without rain (1 mm or more) when it started. Rain came after the fire: 17.4 mm on 3 Nov.

This area had burned before

89% of the perimeter overlaps earlier fires recorded since 2016: 75 ha in 2017, 148 ha in 2021, 180 ha in 2022, 2 ha in 2024. Part of it burned more than once, so the yearly figures add up to more than the 185 ha that had burned before.

Frequently asked questions

How long did the Glamoč fire last?
Copernicus dates it between 28 October 2025 and 28 October 2025: 1 day between the first and last image with fire.
How much area did it burn?
The perimeter Copernicus measured from satellite imagery is 209 hectares (2.1 km²). Official national figures may differ.
Which municipalities burned?
The fire only entered Glamoč (209 ha, 0.2 %).
What was the weather like?
During the fire the temperature reached 14.4 °C, humidity dropped to 41 % and gusts hit 36 km/h. The fire danger index (FWI) reached 0, class Very low.
Where does this data come from?
From the EFFIS (Copernicus) burnt perimeter, NASA FIRMS VIIRS hotspots and the administrative boundaries of Bosnia & Herzegovina (geoBoundaries). It is not an official report.

Where to verify it

A satellite detection is not an official report. Final figures and the fire’s status are published by each country’s emergency service.

Does something look wrong on this page?

This page is built from satellite data and official records, and it sometimes gets things wrong: the wrong dates, the wrong town, two fires merged into one, or something that was not a wildfire at all. If you know this fire first-hand (you live nearby, saw it, fought it or reported on it), tell us what really happened and we will check it.

Where this data comes from

The perimeter and land cover come from the Copernicus European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), measured on MODIS and Sentinel-2 imagery and published under CC BY 4.0. Heat detections come from the VIIRS sensors aboard Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20, distributed by NASA FIRMS at 375 m resolution. Municipal boundaries come from geoBoundaries ADM3 (Public Domain). The area per municipality is computed by WorldFires by crossing the perimeter with those boundaries, so it may differ slightly from each country’s official figure.
