Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 60,050 km² of Santa Fe at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 14,200 km², ranking 1st of 24 regions of Argentina.
Year by year
Detected area per year, km². Area of 0.01° cells with at least one detection in the year.
The busiest year was 2020, with 29,180 km² detected; the quietest was 2014, with 7,340 km². The 2021–2025 average is 32% higher than the 2012–2016 average.
Through the year
Share of all fire-days 2012–2025 by month. A fire-day is one cell with a detection on one day.
July, August and September together hold 53% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 5 August 2020, with detections in 1,332 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 60,050 km² with at least one detection, 51% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 19,260 | 32% |
| 2 years | 9,900 | 16% |
| 3 to 5 years | 19,300 | 32% |
| 6 to 10 years | 11,270 | 19% |
| 11 years or more | 320 | 0.5% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -29.25, -60.75 and holds 6.9% of the region's fire-days.

- How these figures are madeDetected area, cells, and the single-satellite record.
Detected area counts every 0.01° cell with at least one VIIRS detection, so a small fire counts as a whole cell and a fire missed by cloud or between passes is absent. Borders: Natural Earth 1:10m. 2012 begins on 20 January.
