Forest fire incidence and development, among other conditions, are under great influence of climate conditions and fuel moisture. The trend of daily, monthly and annual deficit and surplus of atmospheric precipitation affects the fuel moisture and thus the possibility of fire occurrence. This paper presents the comparative analysis of the time of fire occurrence and the trend of precipitation deficit and surplus. The analyses are based on the meteorological measurement of precipitation and statistical data on registered forest fires in the area of Negotin over the period between 1991 and 2008. It was proved that the periods with precipitation deficit, determined by the method of precipitation deficit and surplus, coincided with the periods of occurrence of forest fires.
