244 daily observations split evenly between the Béjaïa region (north-east) and the Sidi Bel Abbès region (north-west), June to September 2012: temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, rain, the components of the fire weather danger index (FFMC, DMC, DC, ISI, BUI, FWI), and the observed class (fire / no fire).

Cleaning performed: the original source file mixes both regions into a single CSV file, separated by a title row and a second header row in the middle of the file — a known quirk of this UCI dataset. This product reconstructs a single, usable table, with an explicit region column instead of the original duplicate header row. One data row was missing a comma between two numeric values in the source file (corrected by direct inspection, the values themselves unchanged).
