Ministry of Forestry Detects 20,818 Hotspots in Indonesia, Most in Central Kalimantan (Monday, 12 October 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Forestry, monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 20,818 hotspots across Indonesia. This count increased by 8,642 points compared to the prior period.
Data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Monday (12/10/2026) at 11:15 WIB. Of the detected hotspots: 973 have high confidence level, 19,103 medium, and 742 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is split into 3 tiers: low (0-29), medium (30-79), high (80-100). Higher confidence indicates greater likelihood of active forest/land fires in that area.

Most hotspots were recorded in Central Kalimantan (7,069), followed by South Papua (4,448), South Sumatra (2,191), East Kalimantan (951), West Papua (898), South Kalimantan (762) and West Kalimantan (735).
A hotspot is a coordinate point with higher surface temperature than surrounding areas; this does not directly equal the number of fire incidents. However, clustered, high volume hotspots indicate active fire events, and satellite hotspot detection remains the most effective method for large-scale wildfire monitoring.
