Forest fire is one of the greatest calamities that arise throughout the summer in Uttarakhand. Studying the key elements of a forest fire prevention strategy can assist to prevent long-term, severe environmental fire damage. In addition, forest fire management can be done by understanding the correlation of several relevant criteria responsible directly and indirectly for the occurrence of forest fires. The current study incorporates multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM) techniques such as TOPSIS, EWM, and CRITIC to examine the most effective criteria responsible for the forest fire of Uttarakhand province, India. As per results obtained from TOPSIS + EWM and TOPSIS + CRITIC methods are the same. Criteria C3, C16, and C2 were found to be more effective while the criteria C11, C10, and C8 were depicted as less effective criteria for forest fire management.
