Firefighters to citizens, don't use drones to film fire sites!

The Croatian Fire Department (HVZ) reported that most active wildfires are under control, with firefighters intervening on multiple open-space fires across several regions. The most challenging fire was in Bokanjc near Zadar, where aerial forces completed their operations while ground teams continue extinguishing and securing the site. In Istria, two fires were recorded, one in Bala–Barbariga, where approximately five hectares of grass and low vegetation burned, and another in Mandalenčić (Gračišće–Pazin), involving trees and shrubs. In Split-Dalmatia, a fire on Ravno–Vrdovo–Debelo Brdo required three Canadairs and three Air Tractors due to its remote location. Firefighters also warned citizens against using drones to film wildfire sites, emphasizing that drone activity could endanger firefighting crews and disrupt air operations. They urged people to call emergency services at 193 if they spot a fire.

Firefighters sent out an appeal to all citizens: "We will report everything to the police"

Vatrogasna zajednica u Hrvatskoj upozorila je građane na opasnosti povezane sa korištenjem dronova za snimanje požarišta. Nakon nedavnog slučaja u Vrsi, gdje je operacija protupožarnih zrakoplova zaustavljena zbog prouzročene opasnosti, vatrogasci su ističući da dronovi mogu ozbiljno oštetiti ili srušiti letjelicu. Uputstvo je bilo adresirano građanima koji žele snimati požare ili se približavati mjestu požara pješke ili s vozilima. Vatrogasci su takođe naglasili da brodici koje se približavaju zoni punjenja vode otežavaju rad protupožarnih zrakoplova. Građani su pozvani da obavještavaju vatrogasce na brzinu ako primjele požar, uz opominjanje da neovlašteno snimanje požara dronom bit će prijavljeno policiji.

Firefighters have issued a severe warning to the public... due to an incident near Zadar.

The Croatian Fire Service has issued a serious warning to citizens against using drones to film fire scenes, following an incident near the village of Vrsi in the Zadar County where firefighting aircraft operations were halted. The use of drones in firefighting zones endangers both aerial firefighters and ground crews, as a drone collision could severely damage or even crash a plane. Additionally, the service noted that boats approaching areas where firefighting planes are refilling water at sea or lakes also hinder operations. Citizens are urged not to approach fire sites on foot or by vehicle for filming or photography, as this disrupts interventions and puts them in direct danger. The fire service emphasized that unauthorized drone footage of fires would be reported to the police.

Firefighters warn, don't film fires with drones, you could endanger lives.

The Croatian Fire Service has issued a warning against using drones to film wildfires, citing recent incidents where drone activity disrupted firefighting operations. In the village of Vrsi in the Zadar County, a drone caused the temporary suspension of aerial firefighting efforts by forcing the shutdown of fire-fighting aircraft. The service explains that a drone strike could seriously damage or even crash a plane, leading to delays in extinguishing fires and endangering personnel. They also warn against approaching fire zones on foot or by vehicle for filming purposes, as this can obstruct access for emergency vehicles and put individuals at risk. The fire service urges citizens to avoid such behavior and reports unauthorized drone footage to the police.

The fire is not a party, firefighters have issued a warning

Firefighters have issued warnings about the dangers posed by drones and unauthorized civilian activity near fire zones. Drones flying in areas where firefighting aircraft are operating pose a serious risk to both aerial crews and ground personnel, as a drone collision could severely damage or even crash a firefighting plane. This forces crews to halt operations, complicating efforts to control fires. Additionally, boats approaching areas where firefighting planes are refilling water from lakes or the sea also hinder operations. Firefighters urged citizens not to approach fire sites on foot or by vehicle for photography or filming, as this disrupts emergency interventions and puts people at direct risk. They emphasized that any unauthorized drone footage of fires would be reported to the police. Citizens were reminded to call emergency services immediately if they spot a fire.

It does not take a stance on political issues, nor does it favor any particular side in a debate. The content focuses purely on public safety and operational hz

Firefighters appeal Do not use drones to record fires

Hrvatska vatrogasna zajednica upozorila je građane da ne koriste dronove za snimanje požara zbog rizika za sigurnost protupožarnih zrakoplova i vatrogasaca na zemlji. U nedavnom slučaju kod Vrsi u Zadarskoj županiji, operacija protupožarnih zrakoplova bila je zaustavljena zbog korištenja drona u zoni gašenja. Upozorenje sadrži opasnosti poput mogućeg oštećenja zrakoplova i komplikacija u intervenciji. Građani su takođe upozornjeni da ne približavaju mjesto požara pješke ili s vozilima. Vatrogasci su ugasili većinu požara, ali još uvijek su pod nadzorom neki požari, uključujući ono na Području Papratnice i na Debelom Brdu-Ravnog Vrdova. Intervencije su uključivala više vatrogasaca, kanadera i protupožarnih zrakoplova.
