Highlights:

• LiDAR technology is a municipality tool to map forest continuity in a wildland–urban interface.

• Mapping forest continuity of urban parcels permits prioritisation of intervention efforts to prevent forest fires.

• Moran's I permits determination of spatial autocorrelation of the Canopy Fraction Cover of urban parcels.

• The handicap of LiDAR technology for local administration is temporal resolution.
