Between 2012 and 2025, VIIRS detected fire in 1,080 km² of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu at least once. In an average year it detected fire in 197 km², ranking 46th of 63 regions of Vietnam.
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 2015, with 268 km² detected; the quietest was 2017, with 123 km². The 2021–2025 average is 13% lower than the 2012–2016 average.
Through the year

- 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.
