Bromo Fire Widespread to Jemplang, Tourism Closed Totally and Water Bombing Deployed

The fire extinguisher used two tankers to spray water into the fire area. The water supply to the location is supported by two patrol cars, two pickup trucks and one water truck.

Officers also extinguished them manually and mechanically using gepyoks, jet shooters and engine blowers. This method is used to reach locations that are difficult for fire vehicles to pass and have limited water sources.

Blackout operations were also strengthened through water bombing from the East Java Provincial Government. Air extinguishing was carried out to help control fires in areas that were difficult for ground teams to reach.

Mount Bromo Tourism is Totally Closed

The TNBTS Center will close all tourist access to Mount Bromo starting September 12 2026. There is no certainty about when the tourist area will reopen.

The closure aims to protect visitor safety while ensuring that officer mobility and firefighting operations are not disrupted by tourist activities.

The Ministry of Forestry appealed to the public and tourists not to approach the fire location. The public is also asked to follow developments in information through the official channels of the TNBTS Center.

Even though visits to Mount Bromo are closed, tourist activities to Ranu Regulo can still be carried out in accordance with applicable regulations.
