A moderate heat signature is currently being picked up by satellites over an active 280-hectare (692-acre) wildfire burning near Banjarbaru in Indonesia. Having started on September 26, 2026, the fire has driven 22 recent heat detections across the area within a 48-hour window, illustrating the extent of the ongoing spread.
This incident unfolds during the region's typical fire season, the dry season. The wider landscape reflects heightened activity, with 5,206,540 hectares having burned so far in 2026, tracking 46% above the country's two-decade average.
