Detected · VIIRS S-NPP 375 m · 0.01° cells (~1.1 km) · complete years 2012–2025 · built 2026-09-21
Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 23,070 km² of Serbia at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 3,050 km², ranking 93rd of 200 countries.
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 2019, with 6,320 km² detected; the quietest was 2014, with 1,490 km². The 2021–2025 average is 37% 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.
August, September and October together hold 61% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 6 October 2018, with detections in 594 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 23,070 km² with at least one detection, 21% had detections in three or more different years.

- 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.
