Abstract

The article deals with the issues of assessing and accounting for losses from forest fires. In modern conditions of intensive technogenic development, progressive urbanization, the development of transport networks and massive visits to forests by the population, the fire danger will only increase. Currently, when assessing the damage caused by forest fires, only direct costs are taken into account, which does not reflect the whole picture of losses. Therefore, the need to develop a methodology for assessing losses from forest fires is beyond doubt. We have proposed scales for determining indirect losses of the main components and forest litter in pine forests and a method for calculating them from forest fires.
