The relationship negative rainfall anomalies produced by a particular ENSO phase. These anomalies depend on the regional impact of ENSO over climate. These rainfall deficits exist over the months before —and during– the wildfire season. This influence increases by the superposition of the Inter-decadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) \cite{A2004}. ENSO may even have an influence over ignition patterns. It could foster the occurrence of lightning strikes \cite{Beckage2003}. This facts encourages the investigation of new studies of ENSO and wildfire danger. Variability and predictability in other regions in the world has attracted recurrent research attention.   The west coast of South America is one of the regions most affected by ENSO's influence over climate. Abundant scientific literature exists about flooding in Peru and Ecuador during El Niño events. Yet, there has not been enough research on its influence over other natural hazards. Wildfires occur over the entire Andean region. However, studies about wildfire activity in the northern Andean region are scarce. This study aims to describe the seasonal variability of wildfire danger in Ecuador. Also, we investigate if there is a link between wildfires and ENSO in this region. This is important because wildfires occur every year in this country producing severe impacts. impacts \cite{MinisteriodelAmbiente2013, SecretariadeAmbiente2013}.  A better understanding of wildfire danger variability and its causes can provide useful information. This insights could be of special interest to emergency response services and planning authorities. This article comprises six sections. In the first section we justified the importance of this study. Section two describes the Ecuadorian Andean region as our study area. Section three presents details about the datasets employed in this research. Section four explains the different methods applied. Section five shows the results of our investigation. Finally, section six presents a discussion of the results and concluding remarks.
