Abstract
We present a general stochastic forest-fire model which shows a variety of different structures depending on the parameter values. The model contains three possible states per site (tree, burning tree, empty site) and three parameters (tree growth probability p, lightning probability f, and immunity g). We review analytic and computer simulation results for a quasideterministic state with spiral-shaped fire fronts, for a percolation-like phase transition and a self-organized critical state. Possible applications to excitable systems are discussed.
