Abstract
Since Chile is a large country with Mediterranean climate (Central Zone) with important forestry and tourism activities, forest fires are one of the priorities of the Forest Service and Civil Protection, and it is also an issue widely investigated by various authors. In fact, Quintanilla and Castro (1998) mentioned that despite the positive effects of fires, vegetable communities tend to degrade steadily in a long-term process as a result of fire, with an increasing presence of exotic over native species. In that context, the remote sensing technologies combined with occurrence data, forest fire characteristics, climate and human risk constitute the basis for modeling in geographic information systems (GIS) and decision-making with regard to detection, pre suppression, suppression and burned area quantification.
