Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 13,350 km² of Nagaland at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 3,070 km², ranking 22nd of 35 regions of India.
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 4,320 km² detected; the quietest was 2024, with 2,300 km². The 2021–2025 average is 20% 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 85% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 31 March 2014, with detections in 419 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 13,350 km² with at least one detection, 54% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 2,960 | 22% |
| 2 years | 3,170 | 24% |
| 3 to 5 years | 5,400 | 40% |
| 6 to 10 years | 1,730 | 13% |
| 11 years or more | 89 | 0.7% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 25.75, 94.25 and holds 17% 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.
