AreaStatusWhat it is
Andros Under control A 112 alert on 30 July told people to leave Palaiopoli for Batsi as fire burned between houses.
Paros: Angairia and the south of the island In recovery Ten settlements in the south of Paros were told to leave over two days at the end of July.

No satellite fire detections inside The Cyclades in the latest NASA FIRMS pass (2026-08-04 to 2026-08-05). 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.
