Abstract
The paper considers the necessity to control each occurring vegetation fire on protected areas. This is possible using an improved forest fire danger rating and fire behavior prediction with the help of vegetation fuel maps. Fire data for the nature reserve “ Stolby ” were taken for a retrospective performance test of the developed software program on fire behavior prediction including fire spread rate, type, development, effects and calculation of the necessary manpower and resources for its control and suppression.
