Corsica fire map
Corsica is mountainous and heavily forested, and its fire season runs through the summer with the maquis carrying fire fast in wind. Most of the island is unaffected on most days; the pages below say which parts are not.
What is happening in Corsica now
| Area | Status | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Corte and the Restonica valley | Under control | The préfet of Haute-Corse and the mayor of Corte declared the fire above the town fixé on its whole perimeter on 31 July, and the Restonica and Tavignanu valleys reopened the same day. |
| Bastia and the Biguglia plain | In recovery | A fire on the plain just south of Bastia closed a local road and kept residents indoors on 25 and 26 July. |
No satellite fire detections inside Corsica in the latest NASA FIRMS pass (2026-08-15 to 2026-08-16). That is a measurement of heat from orbit, not an all-clear: satellites miss fires under cloud and fires that start after the pass, and a quiet satellite does not mean the authorities have nothing to say. Read it alongside the areas above and the official sources below.
Where this comes from
Fire locations are NASA FIRMS satellite detections. Status for each area is set from what the named authority has published, never from satellite data alone — see how this site works.
If you are travelling
Conditions change hourly during a fire. The authorities above are always right where this page and they disagree, and in danger anywhere in the European Union the emergency number is 112.
Most serious status in Corsica right now: Under control.
