Korea Forest Service

The wildfire occurrence statistics service is an information service that compiles and provides quarterly data on the occurrence and suppression processes of wildfires by region, cause, and time period. It provides standard indicators such as the number of incidents by administrative district, affected area, human and property damage, time required for suppression and the status of deployed personnel and equipment, major causes (arson by hikers, burning, electrical and mechanical factors, etc.), and occurrence patterns by season and time of day. This data can be utilized for predicting high-risk periods, designing prevention campaigns, optimizing resource allocation, evaluating policies and analyzing research, and establishing region-specific response strategies. Furthermore, it can contribute to policy and practical decision-making aimed at strengthening wildfire prevention and response capabilities.
