The CTARSA Foundation is playing its part in the efforts to tackle\nforest and land fires in Central Kalimantan. Collaborating with Kodam\nXXII Tambun Bungai Central Kalimantan, the CTARSA Foundation distributed\nthousands of masks and conducted health examinations for volunteers\nwithin the forest fire task force.<\/p>\n
Forest and land fires in the peatland areas of Central Kalimantan\npresent a significant challenge for firefighting officers. Amidst\ndifficult terrain and surrounding smoke, hundreds of TNI personnel\ncontinue to struggle to extinguish the flames in 24-hour shifts.<\/p>\n
To support the Forest Fire Task Force, the CTARSA Foundation,\nalongside Kodam XXII Tambun Bungai, carried out health screenings for\nmembers of the task force unit.<\/p>\n
CTARSA also handed over a donation of thousands of masks at the Tabat\nKalsa post, located in the Al Qadar Mosque area, Sebaru, Sebangau\nDistrict, Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, on Friday (11\/09).<\/p>\n
In a written statement, it was noted that these health examinations\nserve as a form of care for officers working amidst smoke exposure, hot\nweather, and challenging peatland terrain.<\/p>\n
A total of 8,000 masks were handed over by CTARSA to support the\nprotection of task force members while performing their duties in the\nfield. This assistance is expected to serve as part of the support for\npersonnel who face smoke-affected air conditions every day.<\/p>\n
The Head of Public Relations for Kodam XXII Tambun Bungai Central\nKalimantan, Dodo Sahata, expressed appreciation for the support from the\nCTarmSA Foundation in the form of mask distribution and health checks\nfor task force members at the Tabat Kalsa post.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Kodam XXII forest fire task force post is a vital part of\nsupporting the operations of officers who continue to strive to handle\nforest and land fires in the Central Kalimantan region. To meet daily\nneeds, the post is equipped with a public kitchen providing food for\npersonnel, tents for rest, and a mosque for worship. These facilities\nhelp maintain logistical needs while officers carry out their duties in\nthe field,\u201d said Dodo.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Head of Corporate Communication for the CTARSA\nFoundation, Andra Lesmana, who visited the fire site personally, also\nexpressed appreciation for the struggle of the Forest Fire Task Force in\nextinguishing the flames and smoke in Central Kalimantan.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter witnessing firsthand how difficult the process of\nextinguishing fire and smoke is at the forest fire site, because the\narea burning is peatland. Even though water is sprayed, the embers\nwithin the ground are difficult to reach with water, meaning the fire\ncan flare up again during dry and windy conditions. Therefore, the\npresence of the CTARSA Foundation here is a concrete manifestation of\nsupport for the officers and volunteers tackling forest fires. We hope\nmore parties can take a role in tackling forest fires here,\u201d said\nAndra.<\/p>\n
From the Tabat Kalsa Post, the spirit of mutual cooperation continues\nto be a strength. The CTARSA Foundation invites various parties to work\ntogether to tackle forest and land fires, as well as to assist the\nofficers on the front lines by providing safety equipment for task force\nmembers, so that Kalimantan, as the lungs of the world, can recover.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ctarsa-foundation-supports-central-kalimantan-forest-fire-task-force-and-distributes-8-000-masks-1789196070", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
