Abstract

The "fire season" of 1993 had special conditions that contributed to the development of (big) forest fires in the occidental coast, where they are less frequent. The most important fires occurred in only one climatic sequence, which lead to the progressive increase of fire risk, that geographically were distributed by a few areas, one in the central area of the country and the other one in Algarve.
