Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 60,140 km² of Oregon at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 5,340 km², ranking 10th of 51 regions of United States.
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 2020, with 8,450 km² detected; the quietest was 2016, with 3,320 km². The 2021–2025 average is 11% higher 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.
July, August and September together hold 64% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 9 September 2020, with detections in 3,324 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 60,140 km² with at least one detection, 3.6% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 48,570 | 81% |
| 2 years | 9,380 | 16% |
| 3 to 5 years | 2,120 | 3.5% |
| 6 to 10 years | 64 | 0.1% |
| 11 years or more | 9.7 | 0.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 43.25, -122.75 and holds 4.0% 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.
