34 Fires Occur in Bogor Regency During June-July 2026

As the dry season begins, firefighters have recorded 34 fire incidents in Bogor Regency, West Java. The fires occurred during June and early July 2026.

“This dry season, from June to July, 34 fires have already occurred in Bogor Regency,” said the head of the Bogor Regency Fire Department, Yudi Santosa, on Monday (13 July 2026).

Of the 34 cases, twelve involved land and plantation fires. Yudi said one of the causes was human negligence.

“Twelve of them were land, plantation and waste disposal fires, and the like. These were of course partly caused by human carelessness,” he explained.

Yudi urged residents to stop activities that could trigger land fires, including burning rubbish and carelessly discarding cigarette butts.

“Therefore, we earnestly ask people not to burn rubbish, not to throw cigarette butts away carelessly, and not to leave anything that could ignite a fire in our surroundings,” he said.

He noted that intense sunlight could spark fires, and called on residents to care for their environment.

“With the current intense heat, fires can easily break out. Let everyone care for themselves and their surroundings, and remind one another,” he concluded.
