<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: Based on data from the U.S. Fire Administrations (USFAs) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPAs) annual fire department experience survey, NFPA estimates that during 2004-2008, local fire departments responded to an average of 356,800 natural vegetation fires per year. In most, less than one acre burned. These incidents accounted for 23% of all fires reported to local fire departments. This study examines the circumstances and causal factors of: a) brush or brush and grass mixture fires; b) grass fires; c) forest, woods, or wildland fires; and d) total brush, grass, and forest fires, including unclassified natural vegetation fires. One in five was intentionally set. The most common heat source was a hot ember or ashes. Smoking materials, open burning and high winds were also frequent factors. Lightning was a more common factor in forest, woods, or wildland fires than the other types of fires</dc:description>
