Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 10,940 km² of Tula at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 1,270 km², ranking 35th 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 2014, with 3,470 km² detected; the quietest was 2022, with 185 km². The 2021–2025 average is 58% 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 59% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 12 April 2015, with detections in 715 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 10,940 km² with at least one detection, 14% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 6,630 | 61% |
| 2 years | 2,760 | 25% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,480 | 14% |
| 6 to 10 years | 58 | 0.5% |
| 11 years or more | 15 | 0.1% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 54.25, 37.75 and holds 30% 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.
