Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 3,900 km² of Cagayan at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 725 km², ranking 7th of 118 regions of Philippines.
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 2015, with 1,070 km² detected; the quietest was 2025, with 392 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.
March, April and May together hold 80% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 31 March 2015, with detections in 68 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 3,900 km² with at least one detection, 38% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,500 | 38% |
| 2 years | 904 | 23% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,160 | 30% |
| 6 to 10 years | 326 | 8.4% |
| 11 years or more | 13 | 0.3% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 17.75, 121.75 and holds 51% 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.
