        "content": "<p>The Serang City Fire and Rescue Service (Damkar) has recorded land\nfire reports every day over the past week. According to the fire\nbrigade, hot weather and strong winds have made dry vegetation extremely\neasy to ignite.<\/p>\n<p>The latest land fire occurred on Wednesday (29 July) at around 20:00\nlocal time in the BMS Housing Estate area of Serang City. Two fire\nengines were deployed, and the blaze was extinguished by around\n21:00.<\/p>\n<p>Asep Setiawan, Head of Operations at the Serang City Fire Brigade,\nconfirmed there were no casualties in the incident. The fire is\nsuspected to have been triggered by friction between tree branches dried\nout by the hot weather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe exact cause of the fire is not yet known. However, it is\npossibly due to this hot weather, with many branches rubbing against\neach other and generating flames,\u201d Asep said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Asep, his team receives fire reports almost every day,\nparticularly in areas of cogon grass. The highest number of reports came\non Saturday (23 July), with 12 incidents recorded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost every day there is a report, on average involving cogon grass\nfires. There have also been several rubbish fires,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the situation, Serang Mayor Budi Rustandi has issued a\ncircular to neighbourhood and district heads urging residents to work\ntogether to protect their environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have issued an appeal to the public signed directly by the Mayor,\nasking people to be more vigilant in protecting their environment amid\nthis extreme weather,\u201d Asep explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the public, please look after your surroundings. Do not burn\nrubbish carelessly, do not discard cigarette ends carelessly, and if you\nlight a fire, make sure it is never left unattended,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
