Burning near the city of Basarang in Indonesia, an active 500-hectare (1,236-acre) wildfire that started on October 4, 2026, is currently generating low satellite heat intensity from its peak fire radiative power, while 38 heat detections cluster nearby over the last 48 hours to indicate its recent spread.
This fire is occurring during the dry season.
Across the country, 6,134,111 hectares have burned so far in 2026, marking a total that is 72 percent above the two-decade average.
In context
This wildfire burned in Indonesia for 2 days. In total it burned about 200 ha (494 acres) — around 2.0 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.
