Abstract EN
A Forest Fire Danger Index is a valuable tool in forest fire prevention and firefight because it grades fire occurrence possibility on a daily basis.
Six Fire Danger Indexes were tested for accuracy based on forest fire occurrence in eucalyptus plantations of the north coast of Bahia, Brazil.
They are Angstron, Nesterov, Telicyn Logarithmic Index, Monte Alegre, Rodríguez and Moretti, and Modified Monte Alegre.
The results were analyzed using two parameters of the Heidke Skill Score test: Skill Score index and Percentage of Success.
The Telicyn Logarithmic Index proved to be the most accurate for the study area.
