Burning actively in the Kutai Kartanegara area of Indonesia since September 24, 2026, a 380-hectare (939-acre) wildfire is currently being tracked by satellites registering a moderate heat intensity from its burning front. Across the surrounding zone, 22 thermal detections over the past 48 hours illustrate the localized spread of the blaze during the region's typical fire season, which coincides with the dry season.
This active Indonesian incident unfolds against a broader national backdrop of significant fire activity. Across the country, 4,948,429 hectares have burned so far in 2026, marking a figure that sits 39% above the two-decade average.
In context
This wildfire burned in Indonesia for 2 days. In total it burned about 150 ha (371 acres) — around 1.5 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 6,320,690 hectares have burned so far in 2026 — 77% above the two-decade average. Data from Copernicus GWIS.
