Machine learning project for forest fire risk analysis using structured climate data.
# Forest Fire Prediction - Machine Learning
This project focuses on predicting forest fire occurrences using structured environmental data from the Algerian Forest Fires dataset.
---
## Project Overview
The objective is to analyze environmental features and build a machine learning model to predict fire occurrence or fire risk levels.
Dataset:
- `Algerian_forest_fires_dataset.csv`
Features may include:
- Temperature
- Relative Humidity
- Wind Speed
- Rain
- Fire Weather Index (FWI)
- Other meteorological indicators
Target:
- Fire occurrence / risk classification
---
## Approach
- Data cleaning and preprocessing
- Handling missing values
- Feature scaling (if required)
- Train/Test split
- Classification or regression modeling
- Performance evaluation
---
## Why This Project?
Forest fire prediction is an important environmental and risk management problem.
This dataset provides a practical example of applying machine learning techniques to real-world environmental data.
