Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 18,550 km² of East Java at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 3,440 km², ranking 9th of 33 regions of Indonesia.
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 2019, with 6,170 km² detected; the quietest was 2016, with 994 km². The 2021–2025 average is 25% 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 70% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 20 October 2019, with detections in 417 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 18,550 km² with at least one detection, 37% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 7,850 | 42% |
| 2 years | 3,890 | 21% |
| 3 to 5 years | 4,950 | 27% |
| 6 to 10 years | 1,720 | 9.3% |
| 11 years or more | 147 | 0.8% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at -8.25, 112.75 and holds 11% 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.
