The Chief Executive of the Garut Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Aah Anwar Saefulah, said that operations were still focused on extinguishing the remaining embers. In handling this, the Head of Garut Regency DLH acted as post commander.

The Garut Regency Government has also prepared a budget to support logistics and operational needs across agencies, including BPBD, Fire Department, Industry and Trade Service, DLH, and Social Service.

Handling the fire involved elements of the TNI, Polri, Disaster Preparedness Cadets (Tagana), Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), and Satpol PP.

Market Waste Transportation Prepared

In the midst of handling the remaining embers, Garut Regency DLH is preparing to restore community hygiene services in stages.

Head of DLH Garut Regency, Jujun Juansyah Nurhakim, stated that his party would start picking up and transporting rubbish that had piled up in the market. Cleaning urban areas is also part of these recovery steps.

Thus, handling does not only focus on fires at the Pasir Bajing landfill, but also on transporting piles of waste in the service area.
