Abstract

Forests are always dangerous to fire in China’s forested regions, and forest fire hazard has long been a serious issue in China. Zhejiang province is one of the key forest provinces in China. But forest fire hazards are serious in Zhejiang province that witnesses forest fire every year. The data of forest fire hazard in the study area, which occurred during the period from 2000 to 2016, were collected and analyzed. The occurrences of forest fire hazard are 6848 times in Zhejiang province during 2000–2016, and the economic losses are 22,336.79 × 104 yuan. The results show that (1) forest fire hazard results in especially high damage and is serious in the study area, and (2) forest fire is still one of the main natural hazards in the forested regions of China.
