Burning has been a recurring threat to biodiversity in several regions of the world. In semi-arid regions, the usual use of fire as a more practical and cheaper alternative in agricultural activities has become a risk factor when the extent of these fires is not controlled, damaging elements of the landscape and factors such as soil fertility. The aim of this study was to demonstrate how efficient geoprocessing techniques are in the analysis of fire outbreaks in a given region. The collection of data on the Burns and Fires Monitoring Portal of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), allowed for the spatialization of information and the determination of the influence radius of the samples along the micro-region of Serra do Teixeira/PB, in the period 2014 to 2019. The results demonstrate, a satisfactory analysis of the fire spots identified via satellite through the use of geoprocessing techniques and the direct relationship of topographic and meteorological elements in the actions to prevent and combat these events. In this way, geotechnologies prove to be efficient tools in the periodic monitoring of fires and in the creation of a database that serves as a subsidy in the planning and territorial management of areas susceptible to certain adverse events that tend to generate socioeconomic losses.
