Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the past 24 hours detected 217 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure decreased by 39 points compared to the previous period.
Data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Thursday, 7 May 2026 at 11:34 WIB. Of the 217 detected hotspots: 1 had high confidence level, 213 medium, and 3 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is split into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher confidence means greater likelihood of active forest/land fires in the area.

Most hotspots were recorded in East Kalimantan (49 points), followed by East Java (19) and South Kalimantan (18).
North Maluku and West Kalimantan each recorded 13 hotspots, while Central Kalimantan and South Sumatra both detected 12 hotspots.
Hotspots are coordinate points showing higher surface temperature than surrounding areas; they do not equal the total number of fire incidents.
However, clustered or high-volume hotspot readings indicate active forest and land fires. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-scale wildfire monitoring.
