        "content": "<p>A fire near Kawah Wadon in Mount Gede Pangrango National Park, West\nJava, remains uncontained, with hotspots continuing to emerge. Head of\nthe Mount Gede Pangrango National Park Agency, Sadtata Noor Adirahmanta,\nthrough public relations officer Agus Deni, stated that efforts to\ntackle the blaze are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Based on monitoring on Monday, 10 August, smoke was still observed\nrising from the deep leaf litter around the fire site. The affected area\nis estimated to cover 5.8 hectares.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The deep leaf litter has the potential to store embers and reignite\nflames. This condition is a concern in the overall fire suppression\neffort,\u2019 Agus said on Tuesday, 11 August.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the agency received further reports of new hotspots\nappearing near Kawah Wadon, requiring additional intervention. \u2018We\nfollowed up on the report. At around 6.00 a.m. Western Indonesia Time, a\nteam from the agency along with six volunteers inspected the fire point\nvia the Cibodas route,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The inspection found two smoke points on the rim of Kawah Wadon. Agus\nnoted that the natural conditions around the crater are relatively\ncomplex. \u2018The deep leaf litter, difficult terrain, and considerable\ndistance from water sources pose challenges to comprehensive suppression\nefforts,\u2019 he stated.<\/p>\n<p>These conditions can also cause the situation on the ground to change\nrapidly. Therefore, continuous monitoring and handling are required\nwhile prioritising personnel safety.<\/p>\n<p>The agency, together with Manggala Agni, volunteers, the Forest\nPolice Community Partners, cross-agency personnel, and all involved\nparties, continue to coordinate in monitoring and tackling the fire on\nMount Gede. He stressed that all elements remain on standby. \u2018We also\ncontinue to strive to prevent the fire from spreading or new hotspots\nfrom emerging,\u2019 he concluded.<\/p>",
