dc.description.abstractWildfires represent an increasing global concern, threatening ecosystems, human settle- ments, and economies. Chile, characterized by diverse climatic zones and extensive forested areas, has been particularly vulnerable to wildfire events over recent decades. In this con- text, real, long-term data are essential to understand wildfire dynamics and to design effective early warning and prevention systems. This paper introduces a unique dataset containing detailed wildfire occurrence and damage information across Chilean municipal- ities from 1985 to 2024. Derived from official records by the National Forestry Corporation of Chile CONAF, this dataset encompasses key variables such as the number of fires, to- tal burned area, estimated material damages, and the number of affected individuals. It provides an invaluable resource for researchers and policymakers aiming to improve fire risk assessments, model fire behavior, and develop AI-driven early detection systems. The temporal span of nearly four decades offers opportunities for longitudinal analyses, the study of climate change impacts on fire regimes, and the evaluation of historical prevention strategies. Furthermore, by presenting a complete spatial coverage at the municipal level, it allows fine-grained assessments of regional vulnerabilities and resilience.
