The article describes the peatlands of Lviv region and natural peatland fires within the territory. Peatlands play an important role in maintaining the environmental balance, especially in regulating water resources, preserving biodiversity, mitigating the effects of climate change and supporting human well-being. GIS technologies were used to analyze peat fires, with the help of which a geoinformation database of the studied emergencies was formed. Based on this database, cartographic materials were created for different time periods, which reflect basic information about peat fires in Lviv region. The study was conducted in several stages: the preparatory stage - included the preparation of materials for further analysis, the analytical stage - included the calculation of the areas of the selected types of land use and land cover, the visualization stage - involved the selection of methods for cartographic representation of the obtained results and the preparation of the original layout of the corresponding cartographic models. Actually, such a combination of cartographic methods contributes to understanding the essence of the phenomena, and accordingly, making informed decisions based on the analysis. Based on the research and reports of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Lviv region, presented on the cartographic maps, the largest areas affected by peat fires were recorded in the Sambir district, which is associated with a high level of peatiness (> 15.0%) of landscapes. Also, landscapes located within the Lviv district are characterized by high peatiness, which affects the number of fires during the year. The landscapes of the Chervonohrad district are significantly peaty, where many fires occurred during 2022, covering significant areas. The absence of peat fires in the Stryi district is explained by the low level of peatiness.
