A moderate heat signature is currently being picked up by satellites over a 280-hectare (692-acre) active wildfire burning near Ketapang, Indonesia, where 27 heat detections have clustered over the past 48 hours to mark the extent of the spread. Having started on September 24, 2026, the fire is evolving within the dry season.
This incident unfolds during a broader national fire crisis in Indonesia, where 4,948,429 hectares have burned so far in 2026, tracking 39 percent above the country's 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.
