Published district totals in Tak and Chiang Rai count satellite hotspot detections. A detection is not a confirmed fire or an independent fire event. Missing districts are unknown, and counts cannot be converted directly into burned hectares.
| Input or condition | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Repeated detections | Several detections can relate to one event. |
| Missing district | Unknown coverage, not a count of zero. |
| Burned area | Needs separate geometry and validation; a count is insufficient. |
Code illustrates a review procedure, not an observed result. Replace illustrative inputs with verified records; missing values deliberately remain unknown.
