- Abstract
Fire risk indexes preclude the possibility of forest fires from occurring from meteorological data, and when they are efficient in a given location, they can be useful in planning the fight and prevention of forest fires. The objective was to test the efficiency of fire risk indexes in five municipalities with different meteorological characteristics. The monthly mean of hotspots and meteorological parameters of five municipalities (Itaituba-PA, Itapeva-SP, Ituitaba-MG, Itumbiara-GO, and Sorriso-MT) were obtained between 03/13/2019 and 03/12/2020. The fire risk indexes of Ängstron, Nesterov, Telecyn, Fórmula de Monte Alegre and Monte Alegre Modified were calculated. The efficiency of fire risk indexes was obtained by the skill score and percentage of success methods. Meteorological parameters and hotspots varied between months and municipalities. The most efficient indices were Telecyn (Itaituba and Sorriso) and Ängstrom (Itumbiara, Itapeva e Ituiutaba).
