Explanation:
Step1: Count fire - symbols for 2003 - 2005
2003 has 7 symbols, 2004 has 6 symbols, 2005 has 4 symbols.
Step2: Calculate total number of symbols
$7 + 6+4=17$ symbols.

Each symbol represents 12000 fires. So the total number of fires is $17\times12000 = 204000$ fires.
Step4: Calculate average
The time - period is 3 years. The average is $\frac{204000}{3}=68000$ fires.
