English. The fire risk is determined by three factors: fuel, air and ignition temperature. All these elements are predominantly encountered in the forest ecosystem. The reaction under temperature of forest species is different from one to another. In the open environment, such forest ecosystem where the oxygen concentration of the air is higher than in anthropogenic areas, air currents are determinant in the initiation and development of fires. The ambient temperature directly influences the ignition temperature and indirectly the composition of the forest stands. It is known that each combustible material is characterized by a certain flammability and ignition temperature. Or, if the ambient temperature is low, much of the thermal energy released by the ignition source is absorbed by the environment, and vice versa, at a high ambient temperature, the ignition source yields less heat. In its fight against forest fires, the forestry has no power to combat abiotic factors (air temperature and humidity) but has all the organizational measures needed to form a forest that is resistant to the harmful action of fire.
