Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 136,250 km² of Amur at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 14,950 km², ranking 4th of 85 regions of Russian Federation.
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 2018, with 36,900 km² detected; the quietest was 2021, with 3,340 km². The 2021–2025 average is 47% 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.
April, May and June together hold 67% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 10 May 2016, with detections in 7,459 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 136,250 km² with at least one detection, 12% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 90,040 | 66% |
| 2 years | 29,440 | 22% |
| 3 to 5 years | 15,920 | 12% |
| 6 to 10 years | 848 | 0.6% |
| 11 years or more | 6.9 | 0.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 49.75, 129.75 and holds 2.1% 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.
