Fire is the main disturbance that shapes the landscape of the Sierra de Guadalupe and is caused by humans. Understanding the fire regime is essential for ecological management. The goal of this article is to describe the burned area, type of fire, fire behavior, and frequency in the Sierra de Guadalupe, using aerial images, the SPPIF (2022) viewer, and spectral indices. The area burned each year on average was 435 ha. It is recommended to remove fuel from areas that have not been disturbed, including the oak forest, the most pristine ecosystem of the Sierra de Guadalupe.
