The story so far

About 5 km northeast of Vladimirovac.

Burning across a two-week span that stretched over twenty-two days, a wildfire near Vladimirovac, Serbia, has officially ended. The incident unfolded against the backdrop of the region's typical fire season, which generally spans the warm, dry months from roughly May to October. Satellites tracked the progression of the fire during its activity, registering a moderate heat signature from peak fire radiative power before the event concluded.

While traditional official acreage measurements were not available, satellite hotspot analysis provided a rough estimated size of 150 hectares, equivalent to about 371 acres. With the status now recorded as ended, the fire has ceased its progression in the area surrounding Vladimirovac, leaving behind the thermal activity previously monitored from space.
