This paper deals with passive microwave imaging for flre detection by means of a single-channel ground-based radiometer. The simulation of images sensed in the presence of flre spots under difierent environmental and operative conditions will be presented. We will refer to a low-cost ground-based radiometer operating at 12.65GHz. Scenarios where flres are un-visible and IR sensors are not useful with respect to a microwave imager will be investigated in deep, such as in the presence of vegetation canopy optically masking flre sources and smoke plumes in the early stage. These simulations will assess limits and capabilities of microwave imaging for the identiflcation of little flres masked by forest areas.
