Fires have increased in the northeastern Iran as its semiarid climate landscape is being desiccated by human activities. To combat fire outbreaks in any region, one must map fire susceptibility with accurate and efficient models. This research mapped fire susceptibility in the forests and rangelands of northeastern Iran’s Golestan Province using new data mining models. Fire effective factors data describing elevation, slope angle, annual mean rainfall, annual mean temperature, wind effect, topographic wetness index (TWI), plan curvature, distance from river, distance to road, and distance to village were obtained from several sources. The relative importance of each variable was determined with a random forest algorithm. Fire susceptibility maps were produced in R 3.3.3 software using GAM, MARS, SVM algorithms and a new ens­emble of the three models: GAM-MARS-SVM. Validation of the four fire susceptibility maps was performed with the area under the curve. Results show that distance from village, annual mean rainfall and elevation were of greatest importance in predicting fire susceptibility. The new GAM-MARS-SVM ensemble model achieved the highest fire susceptibility mapping precision. The fire susceptibility map produced using the GAM-MARS-SVM ensemble model best detected the high fire risk areas in Golestan Province.
