Mr. Chairman, for the last 10 years, the way we fight fire has changed. Ten years ago we used to fight all fires and we had the budget for it and in the last couple of years, we fight fires if there is a risk factor so the criteria has changed for the amount of money that we used to identify it. This whole new figure has changed quite substantially so the numbers have changed. We have the numbers here that show exactly, right from 1975 to 2002, the number of fires, the area burned, all fires, the fires we've fought, the fires we didn't fight. The average in all years is about 300 fires that would be fought; 199. So, we have those kind of numbers here. Thank you.
