Abstract

The chapter describes the conditions of predisposition of territories to the emergence of forest fires on different continents of the world. Information on the types of forest fires and the characteristics of burning materials is given. Human and economic losses from the forest fires and other emergencies (earthquake, flood) are compared. The causes of forest fires and their dynamics in Europe, USA, Canada, Southeast Asia, and Russia are given in this chapter. An analysis of the factors of their occurrence is given. Forest fires in the Russian Federation, where they annually cover large areas, have been studied in detail. The dynamics of the burning of Russian forests in the regions and administrative districts of the Tomsk region is considered. The causes of fire emergence is revealed. The forecast of forest fires is given and zoning of forest areas of the region as for fire danger is carried out. The research identifies the role of natural conditions in the occurrence of forest fires at various territorial levels (continents, countries, regions, areas).
