The article discusses the application of the results of cartographic methods as data for a quantitative analysis of the conditions for the occurrence of forest fires. Vector maps of forest fire locations, settlements, a network of roads, and a railway were built based on satellite images, digital maps and information systems that are in the public domain. Forest areas with predominant forest species were mapped using the geodata of the VEGA-Science shared satellite service. Vector layers with points of fires from 2011 to 2020 were built according to the information system of remote monitoring of the Federal Forestry Agency “ISDM-Rosleskhoz”. The use of data from relevant information systems provides a great advantage in organizing geoinformation layers over vast areas in comparison with the routine processing of arrays of satellite images. Geoinformation analysis methods were used to build data series on the distance of fires from infrastructure facilities and on the distribution of fires by forest species. A statistical analysis of the constructed data series was carried out. It is shown that proximity to infrastructure affects the number of fires, and that conifers (pine and larch) are the most fire-prone in the study area.
