Forests are one of the most valuable wealth on the earth planet and are living place for animals and plants, so protecting of them is an important and necessary order. One of the main reasons of forest annihilation is not controlled fires that destroy wide areas of forest and cause desertification. Remote sensing and GIS can be so much beneficial for studying Fire risk. In this research we investigated fire risk in protected forests in Central Alborz that has occurred every year and caused to plenty of damages. In this research Fire Risk method was used which included gradient environment factors, gradient direction and vegetation cover. Eventually area's fire risk maps were prepared which had weak relation with previous fire data and this point demonstrates low efficiency of presented model.
