Burning near Bofuer, Indonesia, an active 1,250-hectare (3,089-acre) wildfire that started on October 3, 2026, continues to progress through the region's typical fire season during the dry season. Satellite monitoring over the past 48 hours has detected 97 heat signatures clustered nearby, indicating the extent to which the fire has spread across the landscape.
Despite this significant spatial spread, satellites are picking up a low heat intensity from the peak fire radiative power, showing that the active front is currently burning at a lower thermal output. The wider context of this incident unfolds against an aggressive year for fires across the country, with 5,830,937 hectares burned so far in 2026, marking a total that sits 63% above the two-decade average.
In context
This wildfire has been burning in Indonesia for 1 day. So far it has affected roughly 1,250 ha (3,089 acres) — about 13 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.
