Forest Management Bureau(DENRFMB)

Hello, I would like to request statistical data of incident reports of natural wildfires in the Philippines.

1.) Date and time along with the location of the Wildfire incident (Latitude & Longitude). 

2.) Will be used for extracting and creating a satellite imagery dataset from Landsat-8/Himawari-8.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a purely natural wildfire; as long as it's a forest fire, that's acceptable. Thank you!
