Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 13,270 km² of Centre at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 7,780 km², ranking 2nd of 5 regions of Togo.
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 2013, with 9,190 km² detected; the quietest was 2023, with 5,920 km². The 2021–2025 average is 24% 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.
December, January and February together hold 85% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 24 December 2012, with detections in 444 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 13,270 km² with at least one detection, 97% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 147 | 1.1% |
| 2 years | 229 | 1.7% |
| 3 to 5 years | 1,960 | 15% |
| 6 to 10 years | 7,990 | 60% |
| 11 years or more | 2,950 | 22% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 8.75, 0.75 and holds 26% 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.
