Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 5,520 km² of Lorestan at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 580 km², ranking 4th of 31 regions of Iran.
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 1,950 km² detected; the quietest was 2022, with 126 km². The 2021–2025 average is 59% 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.
August, September and October together hold 44% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 11 June 2024, with detections in 63 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 5,520 km² with at least one detection, 10% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 3,960 | 72% |
| 2 years | 1,010 | 18% |
| 3 to 5 years | 497 | 9.0% |
| 6 to 10 years | 39 | 0.7% |
| 11 years or more | 12 | 0.2% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 33.25, 47.75 and holds 34% 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.
