Live fire map of Indonesia
Live fire map of Indonesia
Live map of forest and land fires (karhutla) across Indonesia, updated continuously from NASA satellite hotspot detections. The season runs from June to October and is driven by peatland fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan, which produce the regional haze and are sharply worse in El Niño years; Java and Nusa Tenggara burn later, from August to October. See where fires are burning right now, how intense they are and the danger level in each province.
⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS. They are not verified on the ground and are not 100% accurate — they can include false alarms (industrial heat, gas flares, sun glint) or miss small or cloud-covered fires. Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official emergency sources.

About this fire map
Fire Map Today shows forest and land fires across Indonesia in one live view, built from NASA satellite heat detections. Nearby detections of the same fire are grouped into a single fire event with its own page, and every day is archived so you can look back over the season. It republishes public data and is not an official warning service — SiPongi (KLHK) remains the national reference.
How this map works
Zoom out for the national picture; zoom in and the individual satellite detections appear. Fires are shaded by intensity and each region is coloured by its fire-danger level. Satellites pass several times a day and cannot see through thick cloud or smoke, so a real fire can be missed for hours and some heat sources are not wildfires — always check official sources.
Where the data comes from
Active-fire detections come from NASA FIRMS (VIIRS and MODIS sensors). Province, kabupaten/kota and kecamatan borders come from geoBoundaries. The national reference for forest and land fires is SiPongi, published by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). In an emergency call 113 for the fire service or 112.

Staying safe near wildfires
If you are near an active fire, do not rely on this map for safety decisions — satellite detections can be delayed for hours by cloud, smoke or the timing of the satellite pass, and some heat sources are not wildfires. Always follow your official emergency service and local warnings, prepare an emergency plan, and leave early if you are in a high fire-danger area. This is a free public information service, not an emergency-alerting system.
Fire season in Indonesia
Indonesia’s forest and land fire season runs from June to October. The main driver is peatland fire in Sumatra and Kalimantan, which burns carbon below the surface, is very hard to extinguish, and produces haze that drifts across neighbouring countries. El Niño years are sharply worse. Java and Nusa Tenggara burn later, August to October.

| Area | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sumatra and Kalimantan | Jun–Okt | Deep peatland; subsurface fire and regional haze. |
| Java | Agu–Okt | Farmland, grassland and mountain slopes in the dry season. |
| Nusa Tenggara | Jul–Okt | The longest dry season in Indonesia; dry savanna. |
