Archived Selected GFMC Updates on Special Fire Situations

A technical note by GFMC: Starting in April 2020 the GFMC is working on the migration of selected archived Special Fire Event Updates (1999 to 2018) from the old website to this website. We hope that this quite time-consuming work can be accomplished by June 2020. For special fire events please visit the global portals (above) and see the daily media and country news at GFMC’s Global Landscape Fire News.
