Published by Météo-France, combining temperature, humidity, wind and vegetation dryness. It is not a fire forecast: it is how easily a fire would spread if one started.

Why they start

Out of 872 declared fires whose cause is recorded, that is 45 % of those in the department.

Arson 357 41 %
Unintentional (works) 173 20 %
Unintentional (private individual) 162 19 %
Accidental 124 14 %
Natural 56 6 %

BDIFF source. An investigation succeeds more often when a fire is large or suspicious: arson is probably over-represented here.
