The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry plans to deploy 1,000 forest rangers to assist in combating wildfires across three provinces in Kalimantan. Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni stated that the rangers will be sent from various regions, with priority given to West, Central, and South Kalimantan. The operation will involve coordination with the Manggala Agni firefighting brigade and other joint personnel. The minister highlighted the challenges posed by peatland fires, which can reignite due to residual heat and wind. In South Kalimantan, he inspected ongoing firefighting efforts, including the use of water-bombing helicopters. The government has identified ground-based firefighting as the main strategy against wildfires exacerbated by the El Nino phenomenon, targeting six provinces in Kalimantan and Sumatra.
