Abstract: In the last few years, due to the global warming and draught related to it, there is an increase in the number of forest fires. Forest fire detection is mainly done by people but there exists some automated systems in this field too. Besides the detection of the forest fires, effective fire extinguishing has an important role in fire fighting. If the spread of the fire can be predicted from the starting, early intervene can be achieved and fire can be extinguished swiftly. Using the fire propagation simulator explained here it is aimed, to predict the fire development beforehand and to visulalize this predictions on a 3D-GIS environment.
