Popis: An analysis of the emergence and spread of grass fires is a matter for many years of research in the countries where they are one of the major natural and man-made environmental and economic risks. Burning non-forest vegetation in Russia can occur not only in the steppe and forest-steppe, and forest and limitrophe (located between them) areas.This is facilitated by the natural conditions and human factors associated with the burning of dry grass, so called agriculture fell, in autumn and spring.Fires cause significant damage to the grass plant ecosystems. They may be the cause of occurrence of forest and peat fires and cause material damage to businesses and population. Monitoring and elimination of grass fires is a difficult problem because firefighting should engage municipal and private entities Patterns of burning herbs are different from forest and peat fires, but model for predicting forest fires are mainly developed in Russia. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a method for assessing and forecasting the potential for grass fires on the example of the southern part of the Far East and the geographic information system for its implementation.
