Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 616 km² of Brunei Darussalam at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 74 km², ranking 169th of 200 countries.
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 177 km² detected; the quietest was 2025, with 24 km². The 2021–2025 average is 62% lower than the 2012–2016 average.
Through the year

- 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.
