Dry Weather, Tangerang City Residents are Urged Not to Burn Trash

Not burning rubbish is also important to maintain air quality around your home. Smoke from burning waste can disturb comfort and pose a risk to public health.

"Aside from preventing potential fires, not burning rubbish also helps maintain air quality in the living environment. Smoke from burning can disturb comfort and has the potential to have an impact on health, especially for children, the elderly and people who are sensitive to smoke," he explained.

Residents Asked to Remind Each Other

Tangerang City BPBD invites residents to increase awareness of the potential for fires in their respective environments. Communities can remind each other not to burn rubbish, maintain cleanliness around the house, and prevent the accumulation of flammable materials on empty land and residential areas.

Residents are also asked to immediately report if they find potentially dangerous waste burning activities or other incidents that could trigger a fire.

"If they find potentially dangerous waste burning or see an incident that could trigger a fire, the public can immediately report it through the government's complaint channel. Clear location information will help officers handle it according to conditions in the field," emphasized Mahdiar.
