During the period of 1998-2008, in the forests managed by the State Enterprise for Forest Management Srbijasume, 853 forest fires were registered with the burnt area of 16,357 hectares. Forest fires are major economic problems in Serbian forestry, because they destroy vast forest areas, and also an ecological problem, because of their adverse effect on other forest functions. Damages by forest fires are divided into direct and indirect damage. Direct damage includes the damage caused to trees and assortments. Indirect damage is the most important damage and it includes the harm caused by the lack of profit and ecological damage which is beyond price. The objectives of the organisation of forest protection against wildfires in SE Srbijasume are to prevent the occurrence of forest fires and to detect and suppress the wildfire as soon as possible.
