The paper presents the sample database of vegetation cover damaged by wildfires, obtained from high spatial resolution remote sensing data (up to 10 meters per pixel). At the time of publication, more than 6 thousand fires with a total area of more than 12 million ha were mapped and confirmed with the focus on forest fires. The database covers the period from 2009 to 2020 and is constantly being updated. The presented database may be of interest for various scientific wildfire researches and can be used as training basis for a fully automatic high-resolution fire mapping method development.
