The article discusses how abandoned agricultural land across Europe is becoming increasingly prone to wildfires, and how grazing livestock—particularly goats—could serve as a natural fire prevention measure. In Spain and France, firefighters are struggling with a lack of aircraft to combat wildfires, while researchers have found that grazing animals helped slow the spread of fires in certain regions. However, this solution is not inexpensive, and farmers often rely on state subsidies to survive. Experts warn that politicians still invest more in firefighting than in prevention. Farmers in areas around Bordeaux are helping firefighters by filling water tanks, but the shortage of farmers exacerbates the problem. Abandoned farmland is overgrown with shrubs that dry out in summer or replaced by uniform forests that burn easily. The European satellite program Copernicus confirmed that the largest wildfires currently affecting Europe occur in areas where forests and shrubs form large connected surfaces. Without financial support, young farmers cannot afford to raise goats, and experts suggest creating special funds similar to those established during the coronavirus pandemic. A Catalan项目

Šumski požari na jugozapadu Francuske i u središnjoj Španjolskoj prisilio su više od 220.000 ljudi na evakuaciju. Turisti su opisali kako su u noćno doba primili hitna upozorenja na mobilne telefone i bježali od plamena visokog poput šesterokatnice. Vojska je uključena u gašenje požara u Francuskoj, dok je španjolska vlada proglasila izvanredno stanje. Jak vjetar i toplinski val nastavili su raspršivanje vatre, a neki turisti su osjećali dim i miris paljevine čak i daleko od požarišta. Zračni promet prema Bordeauxu i Madridu nije bio poremećen. Francuski ministar vanjskih poslova opisao je požare kao 'tragediju', ali je pozvao turiste da ne otkazuju putovanja. Jedna obitelj iz Engleske, koja je boravila kod prijatelja u Cap Ferretu, brzo je evakuirana nakon što je primila hitna upozorenja.

Glavni vatrogasni zapovjednik Slavko Tucaković izrazio je u središnjem Dnevniku HRT-a da su razorni požari u Francuskoj i Španjolskoj posljedica toplinskog vala i nepovoljnih vremenskih uvjeta. Naglasio je da je Hrvatska spremna za protupožarnu sezonu, iako je broj požara povećan u odnosu na prošlu godinu. Tucaković istaknuo je da su ekstremne vremenske prilike doprinijele brzom širenju požara, a klimatski uvjeti su slični kao i u drugim zemljama. Napomenuo je da bi novi toplinski val mogao pogoršati situaciju zbog punog vjetra. Iako je Hrvatska pošlala jedan kanader u Francusku, Tucaković je dao jasnu poruku da domaći sustav nije ugrožen. Pridodao je da je broj požara rastao za 7%, a na priobalju za 16%, s 3200 požara do sada. Podstaknut je potreba za prevencijom, posebno izbjegavanjem paljenja otvorenim plamenom i odbacivanjem opušaka.

Veliki požar u francuskoj regiji Novoj Akvitaniji, koji je zahvatio 42.000 hektara, prijeti predgradiu Bordeauxa, a evakuirano je više od 300.000 ljudi u Francuskoj i Španjolskoj. Požar je bio rezultat intenzivnog toplinskog vala, a lokalni poljoprivrednici su se dobrovoljno pridružili vatrogascima. Francuski ministar unutarnjih poslova je upozorio da situacija ostaje teška, dok su vlasti izvršile daljnje evakuacije u nekoliko gradova.

This article discusses the coordination of fire-fighting efforts across Europe during an intense wildfire season, highlighting the role of the European Union's Civil Protection Mechanism. The European Union has set up a crisis center in Brussels to manage requests for international aid, monitoring situations around the clock and responding quickly to emergencies. Croatia has been actively involved, sending a firefighting aircraft to France in response to a request. Officials at the EU crisis center emphasized the high level of coordination and noted that this year’s fire season could be just as severe as last year’s, which was the worst recorded. While some resources have been deployed to France and Spain, others remain on standby due to increased fire risks in Central Europe and Greece.

The European Union has issued a warning about the rapidly increasing risk of large wildfires across Europe, citing ongoing fires in Spain and France as major concerns. Maria Zuber, head of the European Centre for Coordination of Emergency Response (ERCC), highlighted Greece, Italy, and parts of Central Europe as being at heightened risk, with France facing particularly difficult conditions in the coming days. She warned that if fires in Portugal and Spain remain unchecked, they could lead to 'entire Europe burning.' The 2026 fire season is predicted to be the worst in European history, surpassing last year’s record, due to heavy winter and spring rains followed by extreme summer heatwaves and prolonged droughts. In France, massive wildfires have forced thousands to evacuate, with firefighters and aerial resources working tirelessly to contain the blazes. Spain is also experiencing its fourth major heatwave of the summer, with high temperatures, dryness, and strong winds continuing to pose risks. Meanwhile, Turkey and Greece face new challenges, including a significant wildfire in Turkey and tragic losses among firefighters in Greece.

The European Union faces increasing pressure due to wildfires exacerbated by climate change, particularly in France and Spain. Hadja Lahbib, the European Commission’s Crisis Management Commissioner, emphasized the need for more resources, improved forest management, and public education to prevent fires. She noted that while the EU has deployed over 770 firefighters and additional aircraft, these efforts remain insufficient. Over 90% of wildfires are caused by human activities such as campfires or discarded cigarettes. The EU coordinates emergency responses through its RescEU fleet, but national governments retain primary responsibility. Despite calls to double crisis response funding to €10.7 billion, member states have reduced the proposal to €9.1 billion. The EU is also planning to establish a permanent firefighting fleet by 2030.

It features an interview with climatologist Ivana Herceg Bulić from the Faculty of Science and Mathematics, who explains the causes of the fires, including prolonged droughts and high temperatures. She describes pirokumulonimbus clouds, which are influenced by fire heat rather than surface heating, and their role in intensifying wildfires through wind patterns and oxygen supply. While she acknowledges that these fires are not directly caused by climate change, she notes that the conditions enabling them—such as extended dry periods—are linked to climate change. The article also mentions an upcoming heatwave in Croatia and references warnings from UN officials about the global climate crisis.
