The forest and land fires in this area\nare being managed by the Manggala Agni Siak Operational Area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the fire location in Tanjung Kapal, Rupat, active flames still\npersist, so the sequestration process is being assisted by heavy\nmachinery. This is a collaborative effort between Manggala Agni, the\nPolice, TNI, the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), and private\ncompanies,\u201d he said in a statement received in Pekanbaru on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>He added that an additional team from the Manggala Agni Siak\nOperational Area will be deployed for firefighting efforts. Furthermore,\none team each from the Jambi City and Muaro Tebo Operational Areas will\nalso provide assistance.
