Satellites are picking up a moderate heat signature from the active wildfire near Banyuasin II, Indonesia, where 39 thermal anomalies have been detected over the past 48 hours. The blaze, which covers an area of 530 hectares (1,310 acres) after starting on September 16, 2026, continues to burn through the region during the dry season.
This incident unfolds against a broader backdrop of heightened fire activity across the country. So far in 2026, a total of 4,112,468 hectares have burned nationwide, a figure that tracking shows is 15 percent above the two-decade average for Indonesia.
In context
This wildfire burned in Indonesia for 1 day. In total it burned about 300 ha (741 acres) — around 3.0 km².
Close to the tropics, fires tend to follow the dry season and are often linked to land-clearing rather than a single summer peak.
The bigger picture in Indonesia
Across Indonesia, roughly 7,520,678 hectares have burned so far in 2026 — 111% above the two-decade average. Data from Copernicus GWIS.
