An active wildfire spanning 400 hectares, or 988 acres, continues to burn near the city of Bade in Indonesia after starting on October 11, 2026. Orbiting satellites are currently picking up a moderate heat signature from the active front, alongside 24 heat detections clustered nearby over the past 48 hours, indicating the current spread of the fire.
This incident unfolds during the region's typical fire season, which coincides with the dry season. The broader wildfire situation in Indonesia remains severe, with 6,850,773 hectares having burned so far in 2026, marking a figure that is 92 percent above the country's two-decade average.
