Where this data comes from

Perimeters come from EFFIS (Copernicus, CC BY 4.0) and municipal boundaries from geoBoundaries/EuroGeographics and NTES (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics - Republic of Macedonia State Statistical Office), Regional IM Working Group - Europe (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)). The area per municipality is computed by WorldFires by crossing both. The forecast is from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).
