• Resumen

  • Fire season and peak of fires varied from region to another (Lattakia province, al-Ghab, Hamah, Edlib , and Tartous). Fire season in Lattakia province was a period of four months: July, August, September, and October. Fire season peak in Lattakia was in October and September. Al-Ghab fire season was a four-months period as in Lattakia, but the season started and ended earlier in al-Ghab than in Lattakia. Fire season in al-Ghab was the duration of June, July, August and September with a peak in July. A six-month fire season was observed in Hamah: May, June, July, August, September, and October with a two months peak: June and July. In Edlib, fire season consisted of two periods, the first and most sever period both in terms of fire occurrence and spread was the months of June, July, August, and September, and the second and less severe period was the months of May and October. Tartous fire season was a four months period: July, August, September, and October with a peak in September and October. The majority of fires in all regions occurred in the afternoons from noon to the hour of 18. The morning period (6-12) came second to the afternoon period in terms of fire occurrence.
