This is being carried out amidst the challenges of\ndifficult terrain, changing wind directions, and limited water supply,\u201d\nsaid the Director of PT Mayawana Persada, Iwan Budiman, in a statement\non Saturday, 12 September 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In the process of on-the-ground mitigation, PT Mayawana Persada is\nnot working alone. The company is working hand-in-hand with local\ncommunities by activating Fire Care Groups (MPA) in buffer villages.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, residents in Sekucing Kualan, Sekorducing Labai, and\nSungai Mata-mata villages have been provided with training and complete\npersonal protective equipment (PPE). Furthermore, synergy has been\nstrengthened with cross-sectoral agencies such as KPH Kayong Utara and\nthe Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD).<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration is being carried out within the Mata Pandawa working\ngroup, alongside partnerships with the Palung Foundation through the\nprovision of heavy equipment (PC 60), daily firefighting personnel, the\nconstruction of reservoirs, and fire breaks extending to villages\noutside the concession that share direct borders. The Borneo People\u2019s\nSolidarity Post (Posko Solidaritas Rakyat Borneo) has also received\noperational field support.<\/p>\n<p>Iwan ensured that the company has also distributed specific\nfirefighting technical equipment, as well as medicine packages and\nlogistics, to several agencies. The Ketapang Regency BPBD received 3\npump units, 3 fire jet nozzles, and 6 fire hoses. The Ketapang Police\n(Polres Ketapang) received 3 pump units, 3 fire jet nozzles, and 6 fire\nhoses.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Kayong Utara KPH UPT received 2 pump units, 2 fire jet\nnozzles, and 4 fire hoses. The Kayong Utara Regency BPBD received 1 pump\nunit, 1 fire jet nozzle, and 2 fire hoses, while similar support was\ndistributed through partnerships with the Palung Foundation and handling\nposts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe company has distributed a total of 23 units of technical\nfirefighting equipment, including pump engines (Ministrike and Robin\ntypes), along with hose equipment, which were distributed specifically\nalongside medicine packages and logistics to various agencies,\u201d said\nIwan.<\/p>",
