Project shows an analysis of the danger of forest fires in
the region of Matarraña in the summer period, because it
is the time of the year in which a greater number of forest
fires occur. The project review the current and the past of
the forest fires in Spain, Aragon and the region of
Matarraña. Some aspects of the forest fires are reviewed
too, such as their causes, consequences, etc. Using the
information available during the realization os this
project, autum 2021, a series of mapas, with information of
risk of ignition, risk of spread and danger of forest fires
of the región of Matarraña in the summer period, have
been created. To create these maps it has been used the
working model of Salas and Chuvieco (1994) to calculate the
danger of forest fires. The analysis of the danger of
forest fires has been made taking information from these
maps. The results show a high danger of forest fires in the
región, so preventive measures and improvements in
extinguishing services must be carried out to be able to
reduce it. In conclusion, some reasons of high danger of
forest fires are the abundant forest mass of the territory,
the absence of fire stations in the region and the
mediterranean climate of the study area, characterized by
high temperatures and low rainfall in the summer period.",
