View all search resultsThe death of a firefighter while battling a blaze at an illegal dumpsite near Jakarta's largest wholesale market in Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, has renewed concerns over the capital's persistent waste management crisis.
The largest wildfire was reported in Buleleng regency in Bali, where flames swept through 48 hectares of dry grassland in the hills of Pemuteran village. About half of the burned area is part of a protected forest.
“Initial findings suggest the flames may have originated in a storage area containing raw materials for sandal production, including chemicals. However, we do not yet know what triggered the fire,” Tohap said on Wednesday.
