Abstract (EN): This paper analyses forest fires (FF) in the U.S. during 1984-2013, based on data collected by the monitoring trends in burn severity (MTBS) project. The study adopts the tools of dynamical systems to tackle information about space, time, and size. Computational visualization methods are used for reducing the information dimensionality and to unveil the relationships embedded in the data.
