According to the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the past 24 hours recorded 285 hotspot points detected across Indonesia. This number has decreased by 44 points compared to the prior monitoring period.
The data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery, accessed on Tuesday (5/5/2026) at 11:12 WIB. Of the total detected hotspots: 8 have high confidence level, 268 medium confidence, and 9 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: low (0–29), medium (30–79), high (80–100). Higher hotspot confidence means greater probability of an active forest or land fire occurring at that location.

East Kalimantan recorded the highest number at 101 hotspots, followed by North Maluku (42) and Southeast Sulawesi (23).
Additional counts: West Nusa Tenggara 17, East Nusa Tenggara 16, while Central Java and South Sulawesi each recorded 12 hotspots.
A hotspot is a coordinate point showing higher surface temperature than its surrounding area; this count does not represent the total number of fire events.
However, high concentrations or clusters of hotspots indicate active forest/land fire activity. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-scale wildfire monitoring.
