Mount Subbing Fire, Oversight Line Fully Closed

The forest fires and land (carhutla) hit the mountain Subbing region in Wonosobo District, Central Java.

The head of the BPBD district of Totok Nursetyanto say his side with local volunteers continues to monitor the progress of fires so that it doesn't expand to the stage area. This attempt was carried out in the midst of a dry vegetation state and a potential spread of fire caused by wind.

Based on field surveillance, the direction of the winds heading southwest is potentially carrying fire to the garages and posong. Fire points are reported to be over Post 4, with the conditions of the land dominated by dried weeds so that the risky fires spread rapidly.

As a precaution, the entire trail of Mount Subbing is temporarily closed. Closing goes from Bimawari, Banan, Baltursari, to Bowongso.

Combined officers with volunteers, including from Basecamp Babursari, have been alerted to monitor the conditions of fire as well as undertaking control in the field.

One of the steps taken was to make the fire bulkhead to cut off the spread of the fire and reduce the risk of the fires expanding to other areas.

The totok says that the mitigation effort has become an important part in handling the potential disaster in the Mountain Subbing region. Moreover, the drought and the threat of a clean water crisis also became of concern in the Weather Territory.

He interned the community and the climbers adhere to the closing of the line, not to force yourself to work in the mountain area, and to follow the development of official information from the officers.

The vigilance and cooperation of the entire party are expected to suppress the risk of spreading the carhutla, while protecting the safety of the people and maintaining the preservation of the forest of Mount Subbing.
