Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring over the past 24 hours detected 191 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure decreased by 150 points compared to the prior period.
The data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Wednesday (29/4/2026) at 11.35 WIB. Of the detected 191 hotspots: 7 had high confidence level, 180 medium confidence, and 4 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates greater likelihood of an active forest or land fire in that location.

Most hotspots were recorded in East Kalimantan (35 points), followed by Central Sulawesi (33) and Southeast Sulawesi (22).
20 hotspots were detected in South Sulawesi, 17 in South Sumatra, while North Maluku and South Kalimantan recorded 13 and 9 hotspots respectively.
Hotspots are coordinate points with higher surface temperature than surrounding areas; they do not represent the total number of fire incidents.
However, clustered high-density hotspots indicate ongoing forest and land fires. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-scale wildfire monitoring.
