Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 7,010 km² of Fiji at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 1,730 km², ranking 106th 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 2014, with 3,390 km² detected; the quietest was 2019, with 1,070 km². The 2021–2025 average is 29% 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.
August, September and October together hold 66% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 24 September 2014, with detections in 205 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 7,010 km² with at least one detection, 55% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,860 | 27% |
| 2 years | 1,260 | 18% |
| 3 to 5 years | 2,510 | 36% |
| 6 to 10 years | 1,320 | 19% |
| 11 years or more | 56 | 0.8% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -17.75, 177.75 and holds 28% of the country'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.
