Coastline and borders from Natural Earth at 110 m — regional context, not a survey. Each layer above is its own address, so a view can be shared.
A fire was first detected here at 04:36 UTC on 11 October 2026, 61 km SSE of Tehoru in Maluku, Indonesia. At its most recent pass it was putting out 4,820 megawatts of radiative power across 789 separate satellite detections.
The detections span about 86.2 km of ground.
No settlement in our index has population recorded within 25 km.
When the satellite first saw it
In local solar time the first detection falls at 13:15, which is the early afternoon. VIIRS passes about 01:30 and 13:30 local solar, so this is when the satellite looked: the fire began somewhere in the twelve hours before.
The fire was caught on a single satellite pass, so we can say when it was first seen but not how long it burned.
What this ground has done before
Our archive holds 5,336 days of burn history for every point on Earth, back to 2012-01-20. In that record this ground has not burned before.
Wind and weather
At the fire, wind was 15 km/h from the ESE, carrying smoke and embers towards the WNW. Temperature 26°C, relative humidity 86%.
Twelve hours on, the forecast has wind at 12 km/h from the SE. These are model figures at roughly 10 km resolution, not a reading taken at the fire.
How it compares
By radiative power this is the 22nd largest fire burning anywhere on Earth in the current window.
Where analysis would go
Our screening pass scores this fire 0.30. The score ranks where analysis is worth spending.

What else this page knows
Each of these is attached to every fire, including this one.
A detection is a heat signature at 375 m, about three hours behind the satellite. Cloud, smoke and canopy hide fires; each satellite passes twice a day. Not for evacuation or life-safety decisions — follow your local fire service.
