Burning in the dry season near Manismata, Indonesia, an active wildfire has consumed 1,050 hectares (2,595 acres) since it started on October 5, 2026. Satellites are picking up an intense heat signature from the peak fire radiative power, while 65 heat detections cluster nearby over the past 48 hours to indicate the active spread of the front.
This incident unfolds against a broader regional crisis, as 6,320,690 hectares have burned across the country so far in 2026—a staggering 77 percent above the two-decade average.
