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.
