Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 25,760 km² of Casanare at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 4,550 km², ranking 5th of 33 regions of Colombia.
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 2024, with 5,610 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 2,980 km². The 2021–2025 average is 10% higher 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 63% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 13 March 2018, with detections in 126 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 25,760 km² with at least one detection, 37% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 10,020 | 39% |
| 2 years | 6,090 | 24% |
| 3 to 5 years | 7,890 | 31% |
| 6 to 10 years | 1,730 | 6.7% |
| 11 years or more | 47 | 0.2% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 5.75, -70.25 and holds 14% 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.
