The Peloponnese fire map
Kalamata, Nafplio, Olympia, Mani and the northern coast. Heavily forested inland and historically one of the worst-affected parts of Greece.

No satellite fire detections inside The Peloponnese 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.
- Περιφέρεια Πελοποννήσου (Region of the Peloponnese)
- Περιφέρεια Δυτικής Ελλάδας (Region of Western Greece)
- Πυροσβεστικό Σώμα (Hellenic Fire Service)
