The results 

The statistics shown here were published by the Federal State of Brandenburg / Germany.

The picture shows the average frequency of occurence of fires during the course of the year and the burned areas over a 20-year period.

The years 2003 and 2006 are not representive because many big fires starts in areas with old ammunition from First and Second World War and from military trainings of Soviet Army. This ammunition ignites itself and the fire cannot be extinguished.
