Short summary

Wildfires are a concrete problem and impact on human life, property and the environment. An extremely dangerous phenomenon is so-called fire spotting, i.e., the generation of secondary ignitions responsible for dangerous flare-ups during wildfires. The aim of this research was to improve the tools used for risk management through the inclusion of fire spotting in operational wildfire simulators used by forest service agencies.
