FOREST FIRES IN THE TERRITORY OF THE ALTAI KRAI
The paper examines the prerequisites for the emergence of emergency fire situations in forests located in the Altai Territory. To identify forest fire sites, monitoring of the fire situation is carried out using observations from fire towers, patrolling on a helicopter and the use of remote sensing from space. The results obtained were used to construct maps of the distribution of foci of fire in forestries and the number of fires in forest areas.
