  We investigate a forest-fire model with the density of empty sites as control
parameter. The model exhibits three phases, separated by one first-order phase
transition and one 'mixed' phase transition which shows critical behavior on
only one side and hysteresis. The critical behavior is found to be that of the
self-organized critical forest-fire model [B. Drossel and F. Schwabl, Phys.
Rev. Lett. 69, 1629 (1992)], whereas in the adjacent phase one finds the spiral
waves of the Bak et al. forest-fire model [P. Bak, K. Chen and C. Tang, Phys.
Lett. A 147, 297 (1990)]. In the third phase one observes clustering of trees
with the fire burning at the edges of the clusters. The relation between the
density distribution in the spiral state and the percolation threshold is
explained and the implications for stationary states with spiral waves in
arbitrary excitable systems are discussed. Furthermore, we comment on the
possibility of mapping self-organized critical systems onto 'ordinary' critical
systems.
