Forest fire statistics 2021 : Improvement through technical measurements

Even if it' s hard to imagine due to the countless forest fires holding Europe's breath this year, the German forest fire statistics for the previous year show a continuing positive trend.The area of damage per forest fire was less than half the annual average since 1991. This development is attributed by the responsible German state organizations to the extensive technical forest fire protection measures. IQ FireWatch, which is currently in operation in six German states, plays an essential role in these measures.
