Annotation:  In this study, the chronology of forest fires, as well as the cause of their occurrence in the territory of the state nature reserve «Olyokminsky» was considered. The analysis of the impact, the classification of fires and the estimated damage to the forest Fund. It is established that the greatest fire danger exists in the southern part of the reserve, as well as locally along the Olyokma river. In the Central part of the reserve the danger of forest fires is lower. Perhaps this is due to the natural and geographical features of the area and vegetation. On the territory of the reserve there is an increase in the number of forest fires against the background of a reduction in the affected area. Zoning of the reserve for fire danger will allow to develop a set of measures aimed at preventing and limiting the spread of vegetation fires, taking into account the regional characteristics of the territories. The possibility of using the territories of the nature reserve as models for the study of pyrogenic successions is discussed.

Keywords:  forest fires, reserve, occurrence factors of fires, fire classification, bio-resources, impact analysis.
