445 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in the Last 24 Hours (Friday, April 24, 2026)
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours shows 445 hotspots detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots has increased by 105 points compared to the previous period.
The data is the result of satellite imagery from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA accessed on Friday (April 24, 2026) at 11:47 WIB. Of the 445 detected hotspots, 7 have a high confidence level, 425 are medium scale, and 13 are low scale.
Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. The low scale ranges from 0 - 29, medium scale from 30 - 79, and high scale from 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the possibility of forest and land fires occurring in a particular area.

The most hotspots detected are in Central Sulawesi with 61 points. Aceh is in second place with 50 hotspots, and North Maluku is third with 46 hotspots.
38 hotspots were detected in East Kalimantan, South Sulawesi followed with 28 hotspots, and West Kalimantan and South Kalimantan had 26 and 24 detected hotspots respectively.
Hotspots are coordinate points in an area with a higher surface temperature than the surrounding area, and do not represent the number of forest and land fire incidents.
However, a large number of clustered hotspots in an area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that satellite remote sensing hotspot data remains the most effective way to monitor forest and land fires over large areas.
