Wildfire Data Analysis & Report

Abstract
Wildfires are dangerous events that can damage significant amount of land and property. In 2023, there were over 3 thousand wildland fires in California alone, burning over 20 thousand acres of land. Climate change has made the conditions for wildfires more common, creating a dry and hot climate where fires can burn more easily. Every degree in Celsius increase in temperature leads to increases of around 600% in areas burned by fires.
A detailed study of the trends of wildfires will make it easier to protect areas from damage. By knowing when wildfires will start and how severe they will be, resources can be allocated in the most efficient way, thereby improving response times and reducing wildfire severity. On the same note, a study of the causes of wildfires will allow the developing of protective measures to be implemented, which can reduce wildfire frequency and impact. A detailed study of such aspects of wildfires is critical for better understanding and mitigation of their effects.
