Abstract: Temporal regimes in fire data recorded from 1997 to 2003 in an area of central Italy have been detected by using the Allan Factor statistics. Our findings reveal the presence of meteo-climatic-related periodicities; furthermore time-scaling behaviour characterizes the point process of the fire sequence as a fractal process with a high degree of time-clusterization of the events.
