Often occurrence of fires damages forest and non-forest ecosystems. There are two main seasons of fire occurrence in Slovakia. One peak is in March and April, when abandoned grassland is burnt out. The second peak occurs from July to September during the harvest-time. The remote sensing allows fast identification of fires, eventually documentation of burned areas. Medium spatial resolution satellite images Landsat and IRS and the orthophotomap 2008 were used in the course of identification of burned areas. Burned areas identificated by visual interpretation were digitized in GIS ArcMap.
