A moderate-intensity front is currently driving an active wildfire near Kimaam, Indonesia, which has already consumed 180 hectares (445 acres) since it started on September 25, 2026. Satellites are picking up a moderate heat signature from the burning area, with 20 heat detections clustered nearby over the past 48 hours to indicate the current spread of the fire.
This active burning unfolds against the backdrop of the dry season, which marks the typical fire season for the region. The broader landscape faces heightened pressure, with 4,997,449 hectares burned across the country so far in 2026, tracking 40% above the two-decade average.

This wildfire burned in Indonesia for 2 days. In total it burned about 150 ha (371 acres) — around 1.5 km².
