Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 72,450 km² of Paraná at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 9,500 km², ranking 16th 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 2016, with 13,380 km² detected; the quietest was 2023, with 5,360 km². The 2021–2025 average is 27% 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.
July, August and September together hold 55% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 27 August 2016, with detections in 604 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 72,450 km² with at least one detection, 20% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 41,160 | 57% |
| 2 years | 16,790 | 23% |
| 3 to 5 years | 12,620 | 17% |
| 6 to 10 years | 1,830 | 2.5% |
| 11 years or more | 60 | 0.1% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -25.25, -49.25 and holds 3.8% 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.
