Ministry of Environment and Forestry: Indonesia's Hotspots Reach 504 in the Last 24 Hours (Saturday, April 25, 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours shows 504 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots is an increase of 59 points compared to the previous period.
The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Saturday (April 25, 2026) at 11:47 WIB. Of the 504 detected hotspots, 18 have a high hotspot confidence level, 468 are medium scale, and 18 are low scale.
Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. The low scale ranges from 0 - 29, medium scale 30 - 79, and high scale 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the possibility of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most hotspots detected were in East Kalimantan with 105 points. Central Sulawesi ranks second with 67 hotspots. West Kalimantan is third with 56 hotspots.
34 hotspots were detected in North Maluku, followed by Southeast Sulawesi with 25 hotspots, while Aceh and South Kalimantan have 25 and 23 detected hotspots respectively.
Hotspots are coordinate points in an area with a higher surface temperature than its surroundings, and do not represent the number of forest and land fire incidents.
However, a large number of clustered hotspots in an area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that remote sensing satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective for monitoring forest and land fires over large areas.
