Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours recorded 3,985 hotspots detected across Indonesia. This figure represents an increase of 2,223 hotspots compared to the prior period.
The data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed at 11:34 WIB on Friday (07/08/2026). Out of the 3,985 detected hotspots, 252 have high confidence levels, 3,591 medium, and 142 low confidence levels.
Hotspot confidence is classified into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), and high (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence indicates a greater probability of an active forest or land fire in that location.
The highest number of hotspots was recorded in West Kalimantan with 2,075 points, followed by Central Kalimantan (445) and East Kalimantan (271). Additional recorded counts include South Kalimantan (254), Central Sulawesi (119), South Sumatra (86), and Riau (83).
Hotspots are coordinate points showing elevated surface temperature relative to surrounding areas; they do not directly equal individual fire events, but clustered hotspots reliably indicate fire activity. Satellite-detected hotspots remain the most effective tool for large-area wildfire monitoring.
