Athens & Attica fire map
Fires in Attica are usually in the hills ringing the city - Parnitha, Penteli, the Aspropyrgos side - rather than in Athens itself, but smoke and road closures reach the city.
1 satellite fire detection inside Athens & Attica in the latest NASA FIRMS pass (2026-08-15 to 2026-08-16). A detection is heat seen from orbit; it is not by itself a reported fire, and not every detection becomes one.
