The Data for Myanmar collected the data from media and relevant information teams.
It confirms and scrutinizes the events which have a lot of numbers by comparing the data from Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS Database) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It has omitted the figures which have no exact number and date, the Data for Myanmar says.
The number collected by the groups working on the ground may be higher, the Data for Myanmar says.
