This page is built by Digital Dynamics Kft.: we download and process the satellite imagery ourselves and serve it from our own EU servers — this is what we do.

What does this image series show?

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite pair passes over the same area every two to three days, capturing the surface at a native 10-meter pixel size. This crop is 7 km wide, so we sized it to 10-meter pixels — the 306-hectare burn scar fits in one view and the detail survives.

The before/after slider shows a difference that took only days to appear. On the fresher images the fire may still be actively burning — smoke partly covers the scar, and the direction of the plume shows the wind.

Why is this better than the daily satellite map? The daily NASA layers on the main map are 250-meter composites: excellent at showing where and when fire burned, but not the detail. Sentinel-2 is far sharper — the trade-off is a revisit only every 2–3 days, and only cloud-free passes are usable.

Data, reuse and liability

Satellite imagery: Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2026, via the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. Burned-area outline and size from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service / EFFIS-GWIS (CC BY 4.0). Hotspot detections: NASA MODIS and VIIRS.

This page is for information only. Data is collected and processed automatically, without human review; satellite detection can lag, miss fires, or trigger falsely. It is not an official alert service and must not be used for response decisions — in an emergency, follow the local authorities.
