Development of a Fire Risk Model to Identify Areas of Increased Potential for Fire Occurrences [PDF]
Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2016 The purposes of this study were to use geographic information systems to create a cartographic risk model predicting areas of increased potential for fire occurrences and to validate the model. Seven literature-identified risk factors associated with burn injury were older than 65 years, non-white race, below high school education, low socioeconomic ...

Scaling and correlations in the dynamics of forest-fire occurrence [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2008 Forest-fire waiting times, defined as the time between successive events above a certain size in a given region, are calculated for Italy. The probability densities of the waiting times are found to verify a scaling law, despite that fact that the distribution of fire sizes is not a power law.
