Forests cover approximately a quarter of the earth's surface, and as one of the largest sources of oxygen in nature, they are important for the survival of life on Earth. In recent years, there has been an increase of forest fires and burned areas in the wider Mediterranean area, including our country. Forest fires are less often caused by natural causes, but more often by human activity. Forest fires can be classified as the strongest forces that destroy natural resources, material goods and human lives in their march. A key factor in the issue of forest protection against open space fires is the analysis of past fire seasons in order to improve the system and correct deficiencies. The analysis and interpretation of the fire seasons of 2020 and 2021 shows the specifics regarding the climatic conditions and their influence on the occurrence and spread of fires, shows data and statistical analyzes on the number of fires and burnt areas in the coastal area, and also on whole of the Republic of Croatia, and other important parameters required by the Activity Program in the implementation of special fire protection measures. The improvement is evident through reduced burnt areas, and as a result of timely reactions of the fire brigade and other forces. Integration and responsibility in the implementation of fire protection measures is extremely important for all entities. In order to develop the system, it is necessary to focus on the implementation of proposals for improvement in the fight against fire through the tasks and activities prescribed by the Fire Protection Programs.
