        "summary": "Forest and land fires in Jambi have eased, with monitoring detecting no hotspots in the Sipongi system, although field inspections identified two locations requiring attention.

Thank God,\nthe situation is much better than it was three weeks ago when I arrived\nhere,\u201d he said in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>He said monitoring with a high level of confidence found no hotspots\nin the Sipongi system. However, field inspections identified two\nlocations that still require attention.<\/p>\n<p>The minister noted that Jambi is expected to enter the rainy season\nsoon. According to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency\n(BMKG), relatively heavy rainfall is forecast through November 2.<\/p>\n<p>The expected rainfall will be used to accelerate land rewetting\nefforts and further contain forest and land fires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rainy season is coming soon in Jambi. The BMKG has forecast\nheavy rainfall until November 2,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Antoni then expressed hope the period of rainfall could be fully\nutilized to rewet the land. In addition to natural rainfall, the efforts\nwill be supported through weather modification operations (TMC) and\nground-based wetting by personnel in the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will make the most of natural rainfall, enhance it through\nweather modification operations, and carry out additional wetting\nefforts by personnel on the ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister added that after November 2, the government will\nintensify patrols to prevent new fires from breaking out.<\/p>\n<p>These patrols will involve the military, the police, Manggala Agni\nfirefighting teams, the Forestry Police, and the Regional Agency for\nDisaster Countermeasures (BPBD) until the heavier rainfall arrives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter November 2, we expect extensive patrols from authorities to\nensure no new hotspots and new fires emerge,\u201d Antoni said.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged the public to refrain from restarting forest and land\nfires, emphasizing that preventing new fires in Jambi required\ncollective responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesian Air Force induces rain to tackle South\nSumatra fires<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Prisca Triferna, Resinta Sulistiyandari<\/p>",
