In the famous Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park on Indonesia’s Java island, a wildfire that has been spreading since Monday has burned and turned to ash about 148 acres of land.
As the impact of the wildfire continues to intensify in this forest area, one of East Java province’s major tourist destinations, some tourist zones have been closed until further notice.
As firefighters are engaged in intensive efforts to put out the blaze, steep mountainous terrain and strong winds have emerged as major challenges. Similarly, wildfires have been spreading in various places since the beginning of this month on Indonesia’s Sumatra and Borneo islands as well.
