        "summary": "The Ministry of Forestry's Manggala Agni brigade, alongside a joint task force, has successfully extinguished a major fire at the Jatiwaringin landfill in Tangerang Regency, Banten, after a week-long intensive operation. The fire, which affected 15 hectares, was tackled using a complex 'scrape' method involving heavy machinery and simultaneous water spraying to cool subsurface embers. Officials praised the multi-agency collaboration, which included the military, police, and local disaster agencies, as crucial to the operation's success.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Forestry\u2019s Manggala Agni brigade and a joint task\nforce have successfully completed the operation to extinguish the fire\nat the Jatiwaringin Final Processing Site (TPA) in Tangerang Regency,\nBanten, on Friday, following an intensive week-long effort. Director\nGeneral of Forestry Law Enforcement, Dwi Januanto Nugroho, expressed his\nappreciation for the dedication and synergy of all personnel and\nelements involved in handling the Jatiwaringin TPA fire. \u201cThe success in\nextinguishing the Jatiwaringin TPA fire is the result of the hard work,\ndedication, and collaboration of all parties involved. Manggala Agni\npersonnel and the joint task force worked intensively, carrying out\nintegrated firefighting operations via land and with air support until\nthe entire affected area was successfully extinguished,\u201d said Dwi\nJanuanto on Friday. Dwi emphasised that Manggala Agni, as a forest fire\ncontrol brigade, was deployed in this operation because it was deemed to\nhave the competence and experience from supporting the handling of a\nprevious TPA fire in 2023. This represents a form of government\ncollaboration in disaster management for public safety and environmental\nprotection. \u201cThe success of this operation was supported by the synergy\nof various parties, namely the Ministry of Forestry, BNPB, TNI, Polri,\nKLH, the Tangerang Regency and City Fire Services, BPBD, other local\ngovernment elements, and volunteers. This collaboration was a crucial\nfactor in ensuring the firefighting operation proceeded safely,\neffectively, and thoroughly,\u201d he stressed. Director of Forest Fire\nControl, Thomas Nifinluri, explained that handling a TPA fire has far\nmore complex characteristics compared to forest and land fires due to\nthe nature of the burning material. \u201cIn the field, personnel applied a\nscraping method strategy, which involves dredging the surface of the\nwaste pile using heavy machinery simultaneously with spraying water onto\nthe hotspots to expose layers that still contain embers, making the\ncooling process more effective,\u201d Thomas clarified. Thomas stated that\nover the seven-day operation, Manggala Agni personnel carried out\nfirefighting through day and night work shifts to maintain operational\nresilience and effectiveness. In this operation, Manggala Agni\nimplemented a 5M handling strategy, namely Smoke Management, Water\nManagement, Human Resources Management, Facilities and Infrastructure\nManagement, and Logistics Management. With this strategy, the entire\n15-hectare burned area was successfully extinguished. \u201cFollowing the\nextinguishing operation, the team is still conducting checks and wetting\ndown the entire burned area to ensure there are no remaining embers or\nhotspots that could potentially reignite the fire,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
