Abstract: |
The KITRAL System Forest Fire Expansion Simulator was used to recreate the conditions of the large fires that affected a forest company in February 1999 in the Octava Region in Chile. The objective of the study was to determine which events affected a specific land plot and at what exact moment, in order to quantify the direct economic damages and to facilitate the decision-making process for a Safety System. In that regard, it was determined that the plot in question was affected by three of the seven fires that touched the area of study. |
