Massachusetts
Agency + Fires - Human + Acres - Human + Fires – Lightning + Acres –
Lightning + Fires – Total + Acres - Total
ST (state forestry) - 1,074 total fires human caused - 1,468 acres of
human caused fires - 5 fires caused by lightning - 0 acres burnt due
to lightning - 1,079 fires total - 1,468 total acres
note - pretty sure they dont count any fires below 1 acre
note - pretty sure that these are actually the fires spotted by the
state forest fire towers plus any fires reported by local FDs to the
state forest fire service (such as when the local fd calls the state
forest fire service to request a response to assist with a local fire)
- mulch fires probably dont make it into this listing - and a typical
small brush fire in a suburb or city is not reported to state forestry
(unless as we said - the local fd wants a state forest fire truck to
respond and help out at the scene - most FDs in Mass are pretty well
equipped to handle any wildfires in their communities - and of course
the western part of the state has much more rural areas than the
eastern part of the state
