The dataset contains year-wise number of forest fires detected in different classes of forests such as very dense, moderately dense and open forests, using satellite fire detections. Note: From 2018 onwards, the FSI followed different methodology for categorisation forest fires. Instead of giving the number of forest fires each year, they are given as forest fires during the season. For example...
