    0.2 Percent

    Explanation:

    The combined chances of occurence of an event = Probability of one event * Probability of the other event

    Now by putting values in the above equation, we have:

    The combined chances of occurence of an event = 5% * 4% = 0.2 percent

    So the chances of fire damaging both sites in a single year is less than 0.2 percent
