Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 315 km² of Teruel at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 29 km², ranking 43rd of 52 regions of Spain.
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 2023, with 41 km² detected; the quietest was 2020, with 18 km². The 2021–2025 average is within 5% of 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.
January, February and March together hold 71% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 24 March 2023, with detections in 9 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 315 km² with at least one detection, 6.0% had detections in three or more different years.

| 3 to 5 years | 16 | 5.1% |
| 6 to 10 years | 2.8 | 0.9% |
| 11 years or more | 0.0 | 0.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 40.25, -1.25 and holds 31% 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.
