Fires in Zimbabwe
Veld fires threaten both forests and woodlands in most ecosystems
This results in loss of both flora, fauna, human lives and property e.g., in Zimbabwe In 2011 5 lives were lost, 713 770 hectares of
land was destroyed and infrastructure worth US$227 214 was lost
In 2012 as of September a total of 12 lives and over a 1 000 000 hectares have been lost to fires

Fire Monitoring
• Fire monitoring is based on both remote sensing and ground data.
• The fire data is obtained from the AMESD fire station, while satellite images are downloaded from the internet.
• Daily fire alerts are generated from the fire station and sent out to various stakeholders.
• Weekly fire reports use the AMESD fire station data for fire incidences reporting and these are compared to ground collected data.

Fire Risk Modelling
• Fire risk modelling for the country is done using vegetation condition measured using NDVI and previous season fire occurrences.
• Decadal ndvi data is received at the fire station.
• The fire risk identifies the areas at risk to fires.

• Various initiatives are done in fire prone areas to minimise fire risks.• A total of 13 fireguard demonstration projects have
been done throughout the country.• These have a cumulative length 160.5 km• The fireguard project was replicated by a total of 1124
families.• These projects have helped in protecting
communities from fire and reducing the hectarage lost to fires

• Fire incidences and distance from road network study was done in 2011.
• A positive correlation of 0.82 between 0 to 2 km in Mashonaland west.
• Data from fire station has also been availed to university students for their studies

Future Plans
• Provide daily fire updates on the EMA websitewww.ema.co.zw during the fire season.• Connecting the fire station to all the provinces.• Automated updates by email (
[email protected]) and sms.• Equipping fire fighting teams with fighting tools.• Help towards meeting these goals will be most
welcome.
