In this work, we proposed smoke and scar detection methods, and analyzed seven-year data of the Russian Far East by using NOAA AVHRR images. As a result of the analysis, scars were detected in April and October, and smoke was detected in around May every year. In addition, occurrence of fires was affected by the scars which appear in October of the previous year. The spot of the scars burned again next spring because the vegetation recovers in May. Especially, we found that forest fires occur every year in the area of Khabarovsk and Zeya River.
