Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Forestry, monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 11,625 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure decreased by 732 points compared to the prior period.
Data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Friday 18 September 2026 at 11:36 WIB. Of total detected hotspots: 571 high confidence, 10,306 medium confidence, 748 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is split into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher confidence indicates greater probability of active forest/land fire occurrence.

Central Kalimantan recorded the highest count at 2,843 hotspots, followed by South Sumatra (2,264) and Maluku (1,142).
Other detected counts: West Kalimantan 791, West Papua 643, North Maluku 446, Bangka Belitung Islands 362.
A hotspot is a coordinate point with higher surface temperature than surrounding area; it is not a direct count of fire incidents. However, clustered dense hotspots reliably indicate active fire events, making satellite hotspot detection the most effective broad-area wildfire monitoring method currently available.
