Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 256 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure decreased by 29 points compared to the prior monitoring period.
The data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Wednesday (6/5/2026) at 11:34 WIB. Of the 256 detected hotspots: 6 had high confidence rating, 248 medium, and 2 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is divided into 3 tiers: Low (0-29), Medium (30-79), High (80-100). Higher hotspot confidence means greater likelihood of active forest or land fires in the location.

The highest hotspot count was recorded in East Kalimantan with 56 points, followed by South Sulawesi (43) and North Maluku (27).
13 hotspots were detected in Jambi, another 13 in East Java, while West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara recorded 12 and 11 hotspots respectively.
Hotspots are coordinate points showing elevated surface temperature relative to surrounding areas; they do not directly equal the number of fire incidents.
However, clustered or high volume hotspots strongly indicate active forest and land fires. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-area fire monitoring.
