Dear Mr. Elosua,

Following your request for having burnt areas of forest fire in Spain from
2001 to 2011
I am sending you a zip file containing the data.

The format of this file is GeoJSON, the coordinate system is geographics
WGS84.
I would like to remark only the fact that records for fires until 2005
have only
the year as date (field called YearSeason) and not and exact date for each
fire.
For fires starting from 2006 you will find the start date of each fire
(field called FireDate).

Please, for any further info or questions about these data do not hesitate
to contact me.

Best Regards.
