Satellites are picking up an intense heat signature from the active wildfire burning near Tulung Selapan, Indonesia, where 37 heat detections over the last 48 hours reveal a sprawling front across the landscape. Having started on October 3, 2026, the fire has consumed 250 hectares, equivalent to 618 acres, during the region's dry season.
This ongoing blaze unfolds against a broader national crisis, as 5,969,381 hectares have burned across the country so far in 2026, tracking 67 percent above the two-decade average.
