        "content": "<p>The skies above the Putri Cempo Landfill in Mojosongo, Solo, turned\nbright with flames on Wednesday (2\/9\/2026). The fire consumed massive\npiles of waste and continued to spread amidst relatively strong\nwinds.<\/p>\n<p>Firefighters, alongside the Solo City Regional Disaster Management\nAgency (BPBD), struggled to control the blaze. Extinguishing efforts\nwere focused on preventing the fire from spreading to other sections of\nthe 17-hectare landfill area. As of Wednesday night, personnel were\nstill working to suppress the flames consuming the mountains of\nrubbish.<\/p>\n<p>The cause of the fire has not yet been confirmed. The Head of the\nSurakarta City Environmental Office stated that the fire is suspected to\nhave originated within the waste piles and subsequently spread due to\nhigh winds.<\/p>\n<p>Extinguishing waste pile fires requires prolonged handling because\nflames can penetrate deep into the mounds, meaning hotspots may\npotentially reappear. This situation has occurred previously at the\nPutri Cempo landfill.<\/p>\n<p>The landfill, located in Mojosongo Village, Jebres District, covers\napproximately 17 hectares and has been operational since the 1980s. The\narea serves as both a waste disposal site and a facility for converting\nwaste into energy. Efforts are currently directed towards preventing the\nfire from spreading to other parts of the landfill complex and reducing\nthe impact of smoke on the surrounding environment.<\/p>",
