Protected natural areas in our country are mostly characterized by significant areas under forest complexes. These forests are not part of the regular forest management system. They are categorized as special purpose forests whose priority functions are of protective- -regulatory and social character. In accordance with the legally-defined categorization and degree of protection regime of certain protected goods, specific measures of cultivation, care and protection of forests are carried out in these forest complexes. In this sense, forest fires, caused by natural or human agents, represent a topic of growing concern within modern multidisciplinary scientific research aimed at predicting their occurrence, assessing possible damage and selecting appropriate measures of forest cultivation and protection. Large forest fires occur during dry seasons with high air temperatures and reduced relative humidity. The rate of fire spread is determined by wind (moderate to strong). The untimely fire detection and extinguishing contribute to the uncontrolled spread of fire over large areas. The high frequency of large forest fires in the area of `Stara Planina` Nature Park in July 2007 initiated the research into the conditions that preceded these forest fires. There was a particularly high incidence of forest fires in the period from 19 to 29 July 2007, when about 3000 ha of open space was affected by fires. The study determined the conditions suitable for the occurrence of large forest fires in the area of `Stara Planina` Nature Park on the basis of weather conditions. The obtained study results can be used to estimate extreme fire hazard conditions by defining the risk thresholds that may be relevant to the competent services.
