Krutinsky District fire, 13 April 2022 Krutinsky District, Abatsky District

Out · last detection 16 Apr 2022, 21:22 UTC

The fire started on 13 April 2022 in Krutinsky District, Russia, and satellites saw it burning for 3 days. Copernicus’s global GWIS system rebuilt a burnt perimeter of 6,500 hectares from heat detections, spread across 2 municipalities.

It is the 53th largest in Omsk Oblast since 2016 (of 152 with a page). Number 160 in Russia in 2022, of 403.

It had gone 2 days without rain (1 mm or more) when it started. Rain came after the fire: 1.5 mm on 19 Apr.

This area had burned before

51% of the perimeter overlaps earlier fires recorded since 2016: 901 ha in 2018, 2,216 ha in 2020, 1,010 ha in 2021. Part of it burned more than once, so the yearly figures add up to more than the 3,326 ha that had burned before.

Burnt area inside each municipality, from crossing the GWIS perimeter with administrative boundaries. The distance is from the town centre to the nearest fire: staying a kilometre away does not mean it reached the houses.

The weather day by day

ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis at the fire location, the standard reference for past weather, and the Canadian Fire Weather Index (the same system Copernicus uses), computed by WorldFires from that data. Days after the fire run until the first rain.

Frequently asked questions

How long did the Krutinsky District fire last?
GWIS (Copernicus) dates it between 13 April 2022 and 15 April 2022: 3 days between the first and last heat detection of the perimeter.
How much area did it burn?
The perimeter GWIS (Copernicus) rebuilt from heat detections is 6,500 hectares (65.0 km²). It is an estimate: official national figures may differ.
Which municipalities burned?
The fire entered 2 municipalities: Krutinsky District (6,347 ha, 1.1 %); Abatsky District (121 ha, 0.0 %).
What was the weather like?
During the fire the temperature reached 23.4 °C, humidity dropped to 13 % and gusts hit 62 km/h. The fire danger index (FWI) reached 18, class Moderate.
Where does this data come from?
From the GWIS (Copernicus) burnt perimeter, NASA FIRMS VIIRS hotspots and the administrative boundaries of Russia (geoBoundaries). It is not an official report.

Where to verify it

A satellite detection is not an official report. Final figures and the fire’s status are published by each country’s emergency service.

Emergency number: 112

Satellite cross-check

Does something look wrong on this page?

This page is built from satellite data and official records, and it sometimes gets things wrong: the wrong dates, the wrong town, two fires merged into one, or something that was not a wildfire at all. If you know this fire first-hand (you live nearby, saw it, fought it or reported on it), tell us what really happened and we will check it.

What do you think is wrong?

We will only use your email to reply about this report. Privacy. This is not an emergency service: if there is a fire now, call 112.

Where this data comes from

The perimeter comes from the Copernicus Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS), which rebuilds it from MODIS and VIIRS heat detections and publishes it under CC BY 4.0. It is not measured on imagery as in Europe, so it is an estimate. Heat detections come from the VIIRS sensors aboard Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20, distributed by NASA FIRMS at 375 m resolution. Municipal boundaries come from geoBoundaries ADM2 (Open Data Commons Open Database License 1.0). The area per municipality is computed by WorldFires by crossing the perimeter with those boundaries, so it may differ from each country’s official figure.
