We have searched for supernova remnants (SNRs) in the irregular galaxies IC 10 and NGC 4449 by means of Fabry-Perot interferometry in Hα and [SII] lines, complemented by radio continuum observations. We find several new SNR candidates in each galaxy in addition to the known ones. Although these galaxies have several common properties, the distributions of SNRs in each galaxy is different. This shows that the star formation mechanisms in these galaxies act in different ways, in favor of the formation of a large nebular HII complex in IC 10, similar to 30 Dor in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We are studying the conditions over which these different star formation histories take place.
