How Will Deforestation and Vegetation Degradation Affect Global Fire Activity?
Earth's Future, 2021 Globally, many parts of fire emissions are driven by deforestation. However, few studies have attempted to evaluate deforestation and vegetation degradation fires (DDF) and predict how they will change in the future.

Modeling Spatial–Temporal Dynamics of Urban Residential Fire Risk Using a Markov Chain Technique
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2018 This article applies a Markov chain method to compute the probability of residential fire occurrence based on past fire history. Fitted with the fire incidence data gathered over a period of 10 years in Melbourne, Australia, the spatially-integrated fire
