Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 17,706 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure marks an increase of 6,665 hotspots compared to the prior period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Sunday (18/10/2026) at 11:15 WIB. Out of the total detected hotspots: 713 have high confidence level, 16,610 medium confidence, and 383 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is graded into 3 scales: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates greater probability of active forest and land fires in the area.

The highest hotspot count was recorded in Central Kalimantan with 8,338 points. South Papua ranked second with 2,921 hotspots, followed by West Kalimantan at third place with 1,119 hotspots.
Additionally: 913 hotspots detected in South Kalimantan, 764 in South Sumatra, 705 in East Kalimantan, and 480 in East Nusa Tenggara.
Hotspots are coordinate points showing higher surface temperature than surrounding areas; this count does not equal total fire incident numbers.
However, concentrated clusters of high hotspot counts indicate active forest and land fire events. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-scale wildfire monitoring across Indonesia.
