Highlights
The most common causes of fires are campfires and the burning of grass, dry vegetation, waste, and trash
One of the biggest fires on the territory of Slovakia broke out in a hard to access mountain ridge. It was probably caused by unruly guests setting up fire on the mountain ridge near a tourist path
Forest fires were quite common in our territory in the past, they were not of such large scale and economic consequences [1, 2]
Summary
The most common causes of fires are campfires and the burning of grass, dry vegetation, waste, and trash. One of the biggest fires on the territory of Slovakia broke out in a hard to access mountain ridge It was probably caused by unruly guests setting up fire on the mountain ridge near a tourist path. Forest fires are influenced by more factors: slope of forest terrain, cardinal points, wind and fuel—tree types, their age, branch proportion, trunk, and root system. The four types of trees are as follows: Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), European silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), and European larch (Larix decidua Mill.). Cellulose chains are maintained by hydrogen bonds between hydroxy groups of neighboring cellulosic chains
