Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 18,985 hotspots across Indonesia. This number increased by 6,362 points compared to the previous period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Thursday (22/10/2026) at 11:53 WIB. Of the total detected hotspots, 983 have high confidence level, 16,779 medium, and 1,223 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher confidence means greater likelihood of active forest/land fires in the area.

The highest hotspot count was recorded in Central Kalimantan with 7,526 points, followed by South Sumatra (2,302) and South Kalimantan (1,482).
1,116 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, 767 in West Kalimantan, while East Nusa Tenggara and Central Sulawesi recorded 694 and 669 hotspots respectively.
A hotspot is a coordinate point with higher surface temperature than its surroundings; this does not equal the number of fire incidents.
However, clustered and high volume hotspots indicate ongoing forest/land fires. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for monitoring fires across large territories.
