Forest fire is a natural phenomenon in many ecosystems across the world. One of the most
important components of forest fire management is the forecasting of fire danger conditions …

Fire occurrence, which results from the presence of an ignition source and the conditions for
a fire to spread, is an essential component of fire risk assessment. In this paper, we present …

Possible causes of a forest fire ignition could be human-caused (arson, smoking, hunting,
picnic fire, shepherd fire, stubble burning) or natural-caused (lightning strikes, power lines) …

Forest fire risk has increased globally during the previous decades. The Mediterranean
region is traditionally the most at risk in Europe, but continental countries like Serbia have …

Forest fires play a critical role in landscape transformation, vegetation succession, soil
degradation and air quality. Improvements in fire risk estimation are vital to reduce the …

This paper identifies human factors associated with high forest fire risk in Spain and
analyses the spatial distribution of fire occurrence in the country. The spatial units were …

Forests cover over a third of the total land area of Europe. In recent years, large forest fires
have repeatedly affected Europe, in particular the Mediterranean countries. Fire danger is …

Fire risk assessment should take into account the most relevant components associated to
fire occurrence. To estimate when and where the fire will produce undesired effects, we …

Early detection of forest fires is the primary way of minimizing their damages. We present the
design of a wireless sensor network for early detection of forest fires. We first present the key …
