MoEF Discovered 13,591 Hotspots in Indonesia, Most in West Kalimantan (Saturday, 22 August 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 13,591 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure increased by 1,683 hotspots compared to the prior period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Saturday (22/8/2026) at 11:36 WIB. Of the detected hotspots: 885 are high confidence, 11,717 medium confidence, and 989 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: Low (0-29), Medium (30-79), High (80-100). Higher confidence indicates greater probability of active forest/land fires in that area.

West Kalimantan recorded the most hotspots at 3,805, followed by Central Kalimantan (2,830) and South Papua (1,271).
Other detected counts: East Kalimantan 835, South Kalimantan 742, South Sumatra 685, Central Papua 407 hotspots.
Hotspots are geographic points with elevated surface temperature relative to surroundings; they do not directly equal fire incident counts.
However, clustered high hotspot density is a reliable indicator of active fire events, making satellite-detected hotspots the most effective wide-area forest fire monitoring method currently available.
