This dataset provides estimates of daily burned area, and daily fire start locations with the attribution from six developed scenarios in Yakutia, Russia. The data are at a 500 m resolution for the period from 2012-2020. Daily burned area was retrieved from combining Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection 6 burned area product and Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Sensor (VIIRS) I-band active fire product. Fire start location and timing were extracted from the daily burned area maps by searching for local minima within fire perimeters by using a search radius of 10 km. To account for the attribution for fire starts with multiple possible fire causes, we developed six scenarios that included all possible attribution priorities between the different fire causes (human, lightning, and overwintering fires).
