Positive trend: Fires in Bulgaria are decreasing in 2026
In 2026, Bulgaria is seeing a significant decline in forest and field fires. According to the latest data, damage from wildfires has decreased by 30% compared to previous periods. This statistic is good news for nature conservation and the safety of citizens in the country.
Experts attribute this success to strengthened prevention measures and better coordination between institutions. Over the past months, a number of information campaigns have been conducted, aiming to increase people's responsibility when handling fire in open areas. The faster response of the "Fire Safety and Civil Protection" teams also played a key role in limiting the spread of the flames.
Despite the good results, the authorities emphasize that prevention remains critical. Responsible bodies are calling on citizens to continue to be careful, especially during the hot summer months, when the risk of fires remains high.
Reducing damage is an important step toward more sustainable management of natural resources in Bulgaria. It is expected that next year the state will continue to invest in modern equipment and the training of volunteer squads in order to maintain this positive trend.
