Forest fires are one of the large-scale natural phenomena that humans are not yet able to control (Bowman et al., 2009). Satellite remote sensing is an important tool in all processes involved during natural disasters (Poursanidis et al., 2017), from identifying areas that are most likely to be affected by using mathematical geospatial models and analysis and creating maps, mapping of affected areas in urban and suburban environments (Poursanidis et al., 2015) and use of results in remediation and compensation activities as well as the use of data from satellite image analysis in planning and decision-making systems for targeted firefighting actions or information on evacuations and avoidance of loss of human life (Kochilakis et al., 2017).
