Wildfires on Croatia’s island of Brač force some holidaymakers, including British tourists, to flee their accommodation and reach the sea in small boats as the fires spread. Multiple accounts describe people being moved away from affected areas when conditions became dangerous.
The reporting centers on how the evacuation is handled. One outlet’s coverage says holidaymakers received limited support during the unfolding emergency, pointing to hotel staff and the tour operator TUI, based on what holidaymakers say. Other details focus on the broader situation on the island, including active firefighting efforts and the difficulty of managing departures while fires threaten roads and settlements.
While the accounts agree that evacuations occur during the wildfire crisis, they vary in emphasis—some stories concentrate on the movement of tourists and the use of boats, while others focus more broadly on the wildfire response and logistics for getting people to safety. Authorities and responders are involved, but public accounts differ in how individual assistance is portrayed.
