ABSTRACT

The objective of this work is to draw a profile of vegetation fire in 2 municipalities of the State of Minas Gerais: Juiz de Fora and Uba. A temporary series was analyzed between 2001 and 2007, concerning the amount of occurrences, the time of the year and the time schedule of larger concentration fires that attacked vegetation, as well as the exhibition of the slope of occurrences. According to the results, the time period between June and October were the most problematic and the time schedule between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM presented larger risks. The herbaceous vegetation was more attacked in the two municipalities and the exhibition of the slope influenced decisively in the occurrences of fires.
