In 2024, far-reaching wildfires ignited and spread across large areas of Russian territory, primarily in Siberia and also in southern regions.

CAMS detected exceptionally higher-than-average daily total fire radiative power values in the Amur Oblast, Sakha Republic, and Zabaykalsky Krai, which markedly increased at the beginning of July.

In particular, the values in Amur Oblast had already reached the highest amount in the June–July period since the start of the dataset 22 years ago by July 15.

Senior CAMS scientist Mark Parrington stated that: "the northeastern region of the Arctic had experienced the largest increase in extreme wildfires over the last two decades".

Wildfires in the Sakha Republic destroyed an area of over 930 hectares and came within 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) of the village of Belaya Gora.
