No DN de hoje encontrei esta figura sobre estatística na origem dos incêndios:
"Summary of Causes (in California):
- Power lines: 20-30% (varies by year)
- Campfires: 5-10%
- Cigarettes: 5-10%
- Arson: 10-20%
- Lightning: 5-15%"
Power lines? Isso não é assunto por cá. Interessante.
- "Power lines: Faulty or downed power lines are responsible for a significant portion of California wildfires. For example, PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric Company) was found responsible for the 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest fire in California history.
- Equipment use: Tools or vehicles that create sparks, such as lawnmowers or chainsaws, often ignite dry vegetation. Equipment use is a frequent cause of wildfires, especially in rural areas.
- Campfires: Unattended or poorly extinguished campfires can spread quickly in dry conditions, leading to large-scale wildfires.
- Cigarettes: Discarded cigarettes are a cause of smaller but still significant wildfires.
- Arson: Arson is responsible for a percentage of California wildfires, although it's less common than accidental causes. In 2017, approximately 20% of wildfires in California were attributed to arson."
