Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 7,270 km² of Tianjin at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 1,230 km², ranking 24th 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 2014, with 1,660 km² detected; the quietest was 2021, with 755 km². The 2021–2025 average is 24% 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.
February, March and April together hold 33% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 17 June 2024, with detections in 127 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 7,270 km² with at least one detection, 35% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 2,890 | 40% |
| 2 years | 1,830 | 25% |
| 3 to 5 years | 2,180 | 30% |
| 6 to 10 years | 327 | 4.5% |
| 11 years or more | 38 | 0.5% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 39.25, 117.25 and holds 26% 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.
