The mathematical expectation for detection of stellar flare on UV Ceti type stars in the solar vicinity during photographic patrol observations with 40″ Shcmidt camera of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory is estimated. We use the luminosity function of the flaring red dwarfs the assume a uniform distribution in the general galactic field. Comparison with the results of photographic patrol supports this assumption. The numbers and total mass of the flare and non-flare red dwarf stars in the Galaxy for the uniform distribution are determined. They are not in contradiction with Oort's estimate of total mass of red dwarfs.
