Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 16,750 km² of Voronezh at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 1,740 km², ranking 28th 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 4,340 km² detected; the quietest was 2022, with 382 km². The 2021–2025 average is 51% 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 51% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 13 April 2021, with detections in 334 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 16,750 km² with at least one detection, 9.2% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 11,500 | 69% |
| 2 years | 3,710 | 22% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,470 | 8.8% |
| 6 to 10 years | 59 | 0.4% |
| 11 years or more | 7.2 | 0.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 50.25, 39.75 and holds 13% 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.
