Spanning 550 hectares (1,359 acres) near Manismata, Indonesia, an active wildfire has been burning for two days since its start on September 19, 2026, maintaining an aggressive trajectory with an average daily growth of approximately 275 hectares per day.
Orbiting observation instruments are tracking the ongoing expansion, registering 59 heat detections nearby over a 48-hour window while recording a moderate satellite heat intensity across the active front.
This incident unfolds during the region's typical dry season and adds to a broader national toll, as 2026 has already seen 4,497,134 hectares burned across the country, tracking 26% above the two-decade average.
In context
This wildfire burned in Indonesia for 2 days. In total it burned about 300 ha (741 acres) — around 3.0 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.
The bigger picture in Indonesia
Across Indonesia, roughly 7,009,661 hectares have burned so far in 2026 — 96% above the two-decade average. Data from Copernicus GWIS.
