Resum
The importance of meteorological fire danger rating indices in fire prevention and presuppression is underlined. Fire danger rating systems currently used in North America and Europa are briefly illustrated. In addition, the main steps and issues to the addressed when operationally setting up a fire danger rating system are commented, with special stress on spot data spatialisation problems. As an alternative to the traditional methods of assessing fire danger level, the possible use of satellite images is also discussed.
