Reign of Fire

Riau Land and Forest Fire Task Force, consisting of officers from the Pekanbaru Manggala Agni, Pekanbaru Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD), the Masyarakat Peduli Api group, as well as the Indonesian Military and the National Police, tried to extinguish the bushfire that broke in Pekanbaru, Riau, on Friday, April 2. Strong wind and difficulties finding nearby water sources made the fire spread quickly, engulfing shrubs on a land estimated to be 10 hectares in size.
