Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 8,420 km² of Lacs at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 3,650 km², ranking 9th of 19 regions of Côte d'Ivoire.
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 4,890 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 2,730 km². The 2021–2025 average is 16% 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.
December, January and February together hold 86% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 28 January 2013, with detections in 496 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 8,420 km² with at least one detection, 86% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 571 | 6.8% |
| 2 years | 646 | 7.7% |
| 3 to 5 years | 2,400 | 28% |
| 6 to 10 years | 4,240 | 50% |
| 11 years or more | 567 | 6.7% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 6.75, -5.25 and holds 28% 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.
