The story so far

About 35 km southwest of Manismata.

An active wildfire burning near Manismata, Indonesia, has reached an estimated size of 280 hectares, or 692 acres, since it started on October 22, 2026. Operating during the dry season, the fire front is currently producing an intense heat signature as satellites pick up 44 heat detections in the area over the past 48 hours.

This incident unfolds within a broader national crisis, as 8,290,324 hectares have burned across the country so far in 2026, marking a figure 132% above the two-decade average.

In context

This wildfire has been burning in Indonesia for 1 day. So far it has affected roughly 280 ha (692 acres) — about 2.8 km². That size is an estimate from satellite hotspots, not a measured area.

Close to the tropics, fires tend to follow the dry season and are often linked to land-clearing rather than a single summer peak.
