Abstract

Best management practices in conditions of forest sustainable development include the adaptation of strategy for forest fire fighting and control. In order to assess the forest fire hazard and security levels, an important part is represented by management strategies regarding security objectives and safety objectives. Implementation of such management objectives refers to understanding and knowledge of fire propagation and control mechanisms. In this context, the current paper presents a state of the art procedure of fire prevention and control, with measures which could be applied in forestry.
