Figure 8

The mrFFWI map for the determination of the fire danger over the CM/EMT area for August. Red colored areas correspond to moderate danger level , while the rest of colors correspond to low danger. The dots correspond to the fire events observed in the period 1984–1997 for the same month (a total number of 608) and their size is proportional to the area burned (in ha) per incident (the greater area burned was 10,4000 ha and took place in 1985 in the island of Thasos, Kavala Prefecture).
