Abstract

In this paper a new mathematical model for predicting the spread of a fire front in homogeneous and inhomogeneous environments is presented. It is based on a bidimensional cellular automata model, whose cells stand for regular hexagonal areas of the forest. The results obtained are in agreement with the fire spreading in real forests.
