Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 26,840 km² of Amapá at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 5,900 km², ranking 19th of 27 regions of Brazil.
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 2015, with 9,680 km² detected; the quietest was 2020, with 3,300 km². The 2021–2025 average is 34% lower 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.
October, November and December together hold 87% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 30 November 2015, with detections in 419 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 26,840 km² with at least one detection, 50% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 7,860 | 29% |
| 2 years | 5,610 | 21% |

- 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.
