Ecuador is located in the north-west side of South-America (see Figure 1). The country has a diverse geography. It comprises a continental territory between the latitudes 01\textsuperscript{o} 28' N and 05\textsuperscript{o} 02' S and longitudes 75\textsuperscript{o} 11' W and 81\textsuperscript{o} 04' W \cite{InstitutoGeograficoMilitarIGM2013a}. The Galapagos Islands are also part of the country. The islands are approximately 1000 Km from the continent. The national territory has a total area of 256.370 Km\textsuperscript{2} \cite{InstitutoGeograficoMilitarIGM2013a}. The Andes mountains divide the continental Ecuador into three regions: the Coast, Andean and Amazon regions. Each of these regions has diverse geographical features, climate, and ecosystems. The highlands are the most wildfire-prone region because of its specific natural characteristics.
The Andes mountains are the most important geographical feature of
Ecuador. South-America \cite{Insel2010}. This mountain range crosses
the country Ecuador from north to south. The Ecuadorian Andes comprises two flanks of mountains: the
East Eastern and
West Western 'Cordilleras'. In between these two flanks of mountain ranges—that include active volcanoes—there are several inter-Andean valleys.
Many of this Andean plateaus are over 2,500 m above sea level. In these valleys most of the large cities of the Andean region exist.
