🌍 #STSM in Action: Dr. Francesco Bartoli in Valencia 🇮🇹➡️🇪🇸 Our colleague from D.R.E.Am. Italia is currently on an #STSM with VAERSA’s Forest Fire Prevention Unit in the Valencian Community focusing on: 🔥 Fire weather bulletin analysis 🛰️ High-res data & fuel dynamics 🗺️ Live fuel condition mapping

🔥 New deliverable out now! 🔥 #FireBehavior #STSM reports are compiled in one place with results of STSMs conducted in #Portugal 2024 Covering major fires: 🔥 Alcabideche (Cascais) 🔥 Vimioso (Bragança) 🔥 Soutelo (Bragança) 🔥 Freixo de Espada à Cinta 🔥 Padrão (Castelo Branco) #NERO #COST

🔥 NERO Fire Brief – İzmir, Çeşme 🇹🇷 2 July 2025: A fast-moving #wildfire near Ildır village spread rapidly in strong winds & dry maquis shrubland. 🌿 ~9,000 ha burned, #spotting & #fast_spread forced village evacuations & highway closures. #Wildfire #Türkiye #NERO #ExtremeFire #COST

🔥 NERO Fire Brief – İzmir, Orhanlı 🇹🇷 29 June 2025: Two #wildfires broke out near Orhanlı and came close to merging - but didn’t. 👉 Merging fire fronts can create #extreme, unpredictable fire behavior. Even without merging, these fires showed #ExtremeWildfire traits: rapid spread & spotting

🔥 NERO Fire Brief – Sakarya, Taraklı 🇹🇷 Nearly 150 wildfires hit Türkiye in June 2025. The Taraklı fire showed #ExtremeWildfire behavior: ~37 ha burned in 1.5 hrs, pyroconvection & wind-driven spread. 📄 Read more in our Fire Brief #Wildfire #Türkiye #NERO #COST

🔥 We published NERO Fire Brief – Pisak-Mimice, Croatia 🇭🇷 On June 21, 2025, a wind-driven wildfire burned ~300 ha across Pisak, Marušići & Mimice. 🌬️ Gusts: 22 m/s 🔥 Rapid spread, spotting, extreme behavior #Wildfire #Croatia #NERO #ExtremeWildfire #COST
