How these fires are counted
Each hotspot is a 375 m VIIRS pixel that was hotter than its surroundings on a satellite pass. Hotspots within about 5 km of each other form one fire cluster, named after the nearest city. Satellite thermal hotspots are not all wildfires: gas flares, steel works, volcanoes and planned agricultural or prescribed burns show up too. VIIRS passes over most places about twice a day, so a fire can start or grow between passes, and thick smoke or cloud can hide one.
