Fire map for Podgorica and the surrounding area

The Podgorica area covers the city, the Zeta Plain and the hills towards Kuči and Piperi. During dry summer periods, the urban fringe is especially useful to monitor because buildings meet grassland, scrub and other low vegetation there.

This page selects observations within approximately 35 km of the city centre. The map, counter and list are automatically limited to that area, so the local situation can be reviewed without searching through all of Montenegro.

How to read the map data

Red markers have a higher estimated likelihood, yellow markers need further checking and blue markers are less likely. The same location may appear more than once when different satellites record it or observations are made at different times.

Satellites do not watch every location continuously. Cloud, smoke and overpass timing can delay a new observation, so the absence of a marker does not rule out danger.

Source and limitations

Data comes from NASA FIRMS, the public active fire information system. Industry, hot surfaces and agricultural work can sometimes create a similar signal. Pozari.me is an information map, not an emergency alert system.
