In recent years, the importance of wildfires as a natural or a human-induced phenomenon has gained recognition not only at local but also at regional and global levels. Improved remote sensing and computational capabilities enable the rapid processing of large image datasets in near-real time. As a result, remote sensing and geographic information systems are becoming common tools for fire monitoring at local, regional and global levels [...].

[] Wildland fires, a hot topic of research since the early days of satellite remote sensing, have been used extensively for developing and testing new image analysis techniques and methods and Geographical Information System (GIS) models [...]. The European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories Special Interest Group on Forest Fires (EARSeL FFSIG) actively promotes the integration of remote sensing and GIS into the day-to-day activities of forest managers at all scales, supporting researchers, local governments and global organizations.

[] Since the launch of the Landsat satellite program in the early 1970s, various satellite sensors with different spectral and spatial resolutions have provided increasing capabilities for monitoring natural resources and disturbances [...]. However, a gap between research and operational use of remote sensing and GIS still exists. The complexity in automating pre-processing and the subsequent classification of remotely sensed imagery poses a challenge for wildfire and civil protection managers. It is thus important for the remote sensing research and applications community to develop user-friendly systems and tools that facilitate the access to ready-to-use information on wildland fires for managers and policy-makers.

[] The EARSeL FFSIG was created in 1995, following the initiative of several researchers studying fires in Mediterranean Europe. Since its start, the group has involved international wildland fire researchers on diverse topics such as fire danger [...], damage assessment [...], vulnerability, ecosystem fire effects [...], and emissions [...]. It has organised several technical meetings and specialised publications over the past 18 years and is one of the most active groups within EARSeL.

[] The 8th International EARSeL FFSIG Workshop on Advances in Remote Sensing and GIS Applications in Forest Fire Management, held in Stresa, Italy (20-21 October 2011), was organised by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in collaboration with the Laboratory of Forest Management and Remote Sensing, School of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Environment, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

[] The focus of the workshop was on local, regional, national and global applications of remote sensing in forest fire management. More specifically the aim was to identify requirements for the use of remote sensing at different scales ranging from local to global. As a result, the program included papers related to pre-fire planning and management, real-time detection and monitoring of active fires, and evaluation of the effects of forest fires.
