| Spatial modeling of forest fire risk has the aim to determine areas most susceptible to fire based on variables that represent facility of ignition and propagation. This work developed a forest fire risk map for the Municipality of Inhambupe, Bahia State, Brazil, by elaborating thematic maps of the following variables: road system, population density, land occupation and use, watershed network, slope and aspect. These were evaluated by the analytic hierarchy process and integrated with map algebra. Based on the developed model, 75.46% of the studied area was classified as “high”, “very high” and “extreme high” fire risk. When comparing the forest fire risk map with historical data of burned areas, 95% of the fires were in these areas. |

| This study objective is to evaluate the use of the BehavePlus software as a tool for fire management operations around the world. Literature search was performed for studies that use BehavePlus, analyzing the objectives of use, how the program was used,the positive and negative points, and the main issues discussed. As a result of the analysis, it was recognized that, although the software is been commonly used by a great number of fire managers in the United States, most publications use it as a research tool and not as an operational tool. Because of the difficulties inherent to custom fuel models development, and the existence of studies confirming that the results generated by BehavePlus sometimesdiffer from experimental results, its use is only... |
