Introduction

In recent years forest fires have increased globally at a rapid rate destroying many hectares of vegetation, ecosystems and landscapes (Parajuli, 2019). Being able to analyse forest fires in multiple open source applications like SAGA GIS will benefit anyone looking to study the results of forest fires.
