Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 24,210 km² of Fujian at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 2,420 km², ranking 21st of 31 regions of China.
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 2013, with 3,840 km² detected; the quietest was 2016, with 1,650 km². The 2021–2025 average is 11% 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.
January, February and March together hold 33% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 5 April 2015, with detections in 327 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 24,210 km² with at least one detection, 7.2% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 18,420 | 76% |
| 2 years | 4,060 | 17% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,490 | 6.1% |
| 6 to 10 years | 151 | 0.6% |
| 11 years or more | 98 | 0.4% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 25.25, 117.25 and holds 8.0% 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.
