Abstract Algeria loses more than 20,000 hectares of forest to fire every year. The losses are costly both in terms of life and property damage, which weighs heavily on the environment and the local economy. Geomatics can complement the conventional methods used in fire hazard prevention and management. The objective of our study is to use the geographic information system (GIS) and the Remote Sensing (RS) technology to develop the fire risk assessment map of the forest massif of Zelamta located in Southeast Mascara province (Northwest Algeria). The methodology employed was an empirical model involving three parameters that can control fire behaviour: geomorphology, vegetal cover combustibility, and human activity. The obtained results can help in the decision-making process as well as provide cartographic support for forest fire prevention and management.
