Abstract
Spatio-temporal clusters in 1997?2003 fire sequences of Tuscany region
(central Italy) have been identified and analysed by using the scan
statistic, a method which was devised to evidence clusters in epidemiology.
Results showed that the method is reliable to find clusters of events
and to evaluate their significance via Monte Carlo replication. The
evaluation of the presence of spatial and temporal patterns in fire
occurrence and their significance could have a great impact in forthcoming
studies on fire occurrences prediction.
