Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 6,940 km² of Miranda at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 2,150 km², ranking 15th of 25 regions of Venezuela.
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 4,420 km² detected; the quietest was 2012, with 474 km². The 2021–2025 average is 14% 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 79% of the fire-days in the record. The single busiest day was 14 April 2020, with detections in 387 cells.
Ground that burns again
Of the 6,940 km² with at least one detection, 69% had detections in three or more different years.
| Years with a detection | km² | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 1,100 | 16% |
| 2 years | 1,040 | 15% |
| 3 to 5 years | 2,640 | 38% |
| 6 to 10 years | 2,010 | 29% |
| 11 years or more | 142 | 2.0% |
The half-degree square with the most fire-days is centred at 10.25, -66.75 and holds 42% 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.
