When you're burned out on vacation: what to do, where to retreat?

In the past week, several wildfires broke out in Croatia, some coming within tens of meters of homes. Last year, a Slovenian woman was on vacation on the island of Brač during a fire and described the situation as having flames five meters high surrounding their accommodation. Firefighters emphasize the importance of remaining calm during evacuation to avoid causing additional panic. They advise prioritizing human safety first, taking essential items like documents, medication, phones, and power banks, and ensuring footwear is available if evacuating at night. Safe evacuation areas could include beaches or cleared, asphalted surfaces away from vegetation. Medical professionals warn about the dangers of inhaling hot air, ash, and toxic gases, advising those affected to move to fresh air, loosen clothing, and monitor signs of severe breathing difficulties such as bluish discoloration on extremities. Burns should be cooled with cold water until the burning sensation subsides, while deeper wounds require medical attention.
