Polygons of fire potentials of the 2014 Tivissa Fire, Spain. Left: final fire perimeter in black. Polygons of fire potential are labeled (A, B, C, D) and represented in different colors. Right top: location of fire perimeter in the western Mediterranean area (source: Google Earth, https://www.google.com/earth/). Right center: polygon area and arrows represent main connections between polygons. Inside each polygon, fire is expected to burn following a similar fire behavior. Once fire gets inside one polygon, it can be assumed that all of that polygon will burn. By using the right strategy, fire can be contained inside each polygon. This scheme portrays the fire analysis, forecast, and simulation of a decision-making visual tool
