President Prabowo Subianto has directed the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) to establish a dedicated team focused on extinguishing wildfires in areas difficult to access. The order comes as Indonesia faces ongoing challenges with land and forest fires, particularly during the dry season. These hotspots pose significant health risks and environmental damage. The TNI team will be equipped and trained to operate in challenging terrains where traditional firefighting methods are ineffective. President Prabowo emphasized the importance of a rapid and coordinated response to protect communities and mitigate the ecological impact of the fires. This deployment signals a heightened national effort to address the recurring problem of wildfires across the archipelago. Further details regarding the team’s size and specific deployment locations are expected to be announced soon.
