SUMMARY: Flammability and combustibility measurements for Mediterraneanvegetation were made at the experimental area Dom near Bormes lesMimosas, southeastern France. Laboratory tests were produced with an electricradiator (epiradiateur) to achieve certain parameters for living fuels fromgrassy, shrubby and treelike kinds. Based on these parameters a classificationwas made related to the flammability lag and it was presented to forest servicefor intervening in preserving and protecting forests against fires.Simultaneously, by analogy to the North American methods in calculatingForest Fire Danger Index, drying and wetting the dead forest fuel was measuredat two locations: in open land and under Mediterranean shrubbery. Thesechanges were observed in relation to the changes of meteorological elementsto improve the mentioned methods.Key words: flammability, combustibility, electric radiator, mediterraneanvegetation, fire-risk.114
