Abstract

The objective of this work is to localize and map the urban residential fires in Santa Maria - RS, Brazil, between 2010 and 2013. For the realization of this study involved collecting fire incident data from the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 in the Fourth Regional Firefighters Command. After the collection and location of data, densities of fires in the study area using the kernel density estimator were estimated. The results support the argument that fires are more frequent in the city in north-western area, as in this area the standard of the buildings is of low quality and the urban infrastructure presented is in disrepair.
