WF25023Fuel-aware forest fire danger rating system RISICO: a comparative study for Italy


Wildfire risk is increasing owing to human actions, requiring improved fire danger models. The RISICO model, used in Italy for decades, integrates fuel characteristics and hourly outputs. Testing over 16 years shows RISICO outperforms traditional indices, enhancing spatial and temporal fire danger prediction for better wildfire management.
