These fires are lit
51 % of these detections fall in December, January or February, when vegetation does not burn on its own: this is prescribed burning, pastoral écobuage, lit deliberately to maintain summer pastures.
The figures below count them, because vegetation really is burning. They are not comparable to those of a Mediterranean department, where the peak is in July.
