– One of the main challenges in Protected Areas (PAs) in Brazil is to reduce the occurrence of forest fires. A strategy for this purpose is the completion of the Fire Incident Report (FIR or ROI, in Portuguese), to characterize the profile of fires and guide the planning of fire prevention and control. However, records show that many of the units have no such reports. The objectives of this study were to save the history of creation and evolution of ROI, evaluate its effectiveness and provide resources for its correct completion and best use in the PAs. The applied methods were bibliographical and documentary research as well as field research including interviews and non-participant observation. The applicability of ROI was evaluated in the National Park Caparaó, located in the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. It was found that the ROI is the only systematic record of forest fire occurrences in PAs in Brazil, underlying the development of regional and national strategies for fire prevention and reduction. The constant evolution of the system has contributed to a quantitative and qualitative improvement of the available data. A set of 23 different skills and competencies related to the fields of natural and social sciences were listed, which are required to complete the ROI. Sixteen different tools and equipment are needed for data collection. The information required for ROI can be obtained where trained human resources and equipment are available
