# Algerian_forest_fires_dataset
Algerian Forest Fires Dataset Analysis
This project focuses on analyzing the Algerian Forest Fires dataset, which includes meteorological and fire-related data from two regions in Algeria (Setif and Bejaia). The main goal is to understand the patterns behind forest fires and help predict fire risk using machine learning models.
📁 Dataset
Source: UCI Machine Learning Repository
Regions: Bejaia and Sidi-Bel Abbes
Features: Includes weather data like temperature, relative humidity (RH), wind speed, rain, and fire indexes such as FFMC, DMC, DC, ISI, BUI, and FWI.
Target: Classes (fire or not fire)
🔍 What This Notebook Does

scikit-learn
📌 Goal
To build a simple and effective machine learning pipeline that helps predict the Fire Weather Index (FWI) based on weather conditions.
