Abstract
Based on statistic reporting materials, literary and departmental materials as the results of the authors own research, there were analyzed the actual forest fire burning rates for the period from 2015 to 2024 for the Federal Districts of the Russian Federation. There are significant differences in the number of landscape fires in the specified districts and difficulties in establishing the total area covered by fire due to different accounting systems.
The burning indicators largely depend on the area of application of specific fire light forces and means as well as from the causes of forest fires. In Siberia and the Far East, the number of fires is lower than in the European Part of the country, but the area they cover is significantly greater. In addition there is a higher share of fires caused by lightning, that is by natural sources of fire. In recent years, the number of landscape fires and the area they cover in the Arctic circle have increased. That is explained by the climate change forwards increasing air temperature. The same reason explains the increase in the number of crown and plat fires.
The main direction for minimizing of forest fire risk indicators is the improvement of regulatory documents in the protection of forest from fires.
