This Forestry Commission England Wildfire Statistics for England, 2009-10 to 2016-17 provides statistics and maps covering all wildfire incidents attended by the Fire and Rescue Services in England in these 8 years, as recorded in the Home Office’s Incident Recording System.

It covers the numbers of wildfire incidents, their sizes by land area burnt, their time duration, and their location within England.

The report includes description of the wildfires within land with an environmental designation, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest and National Parks.
