El fuego es una de las principales formas de disturbio que influye en la composición, estructura y distribución de la vegetación. Así mismo, un incendio tiene afectaciones a múltiples niveles de organización biológica, influyendo en las poblaciones, comunidades y ecosistemas. En los últimos años se ha hecho un esfuerzo significativo para entender la dinámica de los incendios en el pasado e identificar los factores clave que juegan un papel importante en un evento de incendio. Durante un incendio se producen partículas de carbón; estas partículas contienen información anatómica de las especies, así como atributos químicos y físicos representativos del ambiente al momento de su depositación. Se han desarrollado técnicas y metodologías para entender el comportamiento del fuego en el pasado para ayudar a establecer mejores prácticas de manejo del fuego en la actualidad. El presente artículo discute sobre los incendios y las partículas de carbón como el principal proxy para entender la historia de los incendios en escalas de tiempo amplias. Adicionalmente, se presentan ejemplos de estudios particularmente para las Américas y el Caribe donde se ha utilizado el análisis de partículas de carbón para reconstruir la historia de los incendios en el pasado.
