National Hotspots Increase to 338, Zero Hot Spots Doesn't Mean Fire is Extinguished

In Tanjung Taruna, officers still found many plumes of smoke. Meanwhile in Jabiren, the fire has not been completely extinguished. Both locations are on peatlands with fires on the surface and below the surface.

This condition requires treatment until the embers in the peat are confirmed to be extinguished. The Ministry of Forestry is strengthening patrols, direct inspections in the field, extinguishing, wetting and monitoring vulnerable locations.

South Sumatra (Sumsel) has no Hotspots, blackouts are still ongoing

The situation in South Sumatra (Sumsel) shows why hotspot figures need to be read in conjunction with field reports.

Even though no high-confidence Hotspots were detected, blackouts were still carried out on Geronggang and Talang Rimba Islands, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. In Talang Rimba, the fire has reportedly not been extinguished and requires further treatment.

The fire on Kabai Island, Ogan Ilir Regency, has been declared extinguished.

In East Kalimantan (Kaltim), blackout operations are also still ongoing in East Sepaso Village, East Kutai Regency. Until the latest report submitted by the ministry, the fire at that location had not been completely extinguished.
