Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), monitoring over the last 24 hours detected 18,385 hotspots across Indonesia. This represents an increase of 6,674 hotspots compared to the prior period.
This data was obtained via Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Monday (14/9/2026) at 11:37 WIB. Of the total detected hotspots: 1,092 have high confidence level, 16,113 medium confidence, and 1,180 low confidence.
Hotspot confidence is graded on 3 scales: low (0–29), medium (30–79), high (80–100). Higher hotspot confidence correlates with greater likelihood of active forest or land fires in that location.

Central Kalimantan recorded the highest number of detected hotspots at 4,765, followed by West Kalimantan (2,159), and South Sumatra (1,650).
Other totals include: East Kalimantan (1,553), South Kalimantan (1,363), West Papua (1,070), and Maluku (1,049).
A hotspot refers to a geolocation with above-average surface temperature relative to its surroundings; this does not directly equal the count of fire events.
However, dense clusters of hotspots in an area reliably indicate active forest/land fires. Satellite-detected hotspots remain the most effective large-scale wildfire monitoring method.
