Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Forestry, monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 17,598 hotspots across Indonesia. This figure represents an increase of 5,973 hotspots compared to the prior monitoring period.
This data was obtained from Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Saturday (19/9/2026) at 11:36 WIB. Of the total detected hotspots: 1,337 have high confidence level, 15,386 medium confidence, and 875 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is classified into 3 tiers: Low (0-29), Medium (30-79), High (80-100). Higher confidence values correspond to greater likelihood of active forest or land fires in the area.

The highest hotspot count was recorded in Central Kalimantan with 8,684 detections, followed by West Kalimantan (2,428) and South Sumatra (1,077).
Additionally: South Kalimantan recorded 772 hotspots, East Kalimantan 717, South Sulawesi 426, and East Nusa Tenggara 409.
Hotspots are coordinate points showing elevated surface temperature relative to surrounding areas; they do not directly equal individual fire incidents.
However, high concentration or clustered hotspots reliably indicate active fire events. Satellite-detected hotspot data remains the most effective method for large-scale forest fire monitoring across Indonesia.
