Forest fire, aka wildfire are a major concern of many countries. Not only it leads to death and destruction of massive amount of wildlife, it also increase the level of air pollution drastically in the nearby areas. It creates wild-scale environmental damage, sometimes threatening human lives as well. In addition, it also creates huge expenses for governments to contain it.

Some of the important factors impacting the extent of forest fires are temperature, wind, rain and relative humidity. Also, months of the year and days of the week show interesting relationships with the burnt forest area.
