Green forest fire notification in Indonesia
On 30/08/2026, a forest fire started in Indonesia, until 13/09/2026.
In plain language
A forest fire took place in Indonesia from late August through mid-September 2026. This was a moderate event that is now officially over and no longer active.
What is a wildfire? Wildfires are unplanned fires that burn through natural areas like forests and grasslands. They usually start when heat, oxygen, and dry fuel—like dead leaves or wood—meet a spark from lightning or human activity. These fires can spread quickly, especially during hot, windy weather when plants are very dry.
Stay safe by keeping windows closed to block out smoke and having a family plan for where to meet if you need to leave.
