YOGYAKARTA - A few days ago, a fire broke out that hit the Putri Cempo Final Disposal Site (TPA) in Mojosongo, Solo, Saturday, September 16, at approximately 13.00 WIB. The fire is predicted to come from methane gas that is hit by the summer of the dry season. This is not the first time the TPA-burning incident has caught fire in Indonesia in the past month!

The head of the Solo Fire Department (Damkar), Sutarja, said that his officers immediately moved to the position of the fire as soon as they found the report. Currently, firefighters are still trying to extinguish the blaze at the Putri Cempo TPA.

"Actually, a fire engine has been standing by near the Putri Cempo TPA for a month to estimate garbage fires during the dry season," he said.

And you know, in fact in this month there have been several TPAs that have been burned, along with some of the TPAs that have been burned in Indonesia in the past month apart from Putri Cempo's TPA in Mojosongo, Solo.

Jatibarang TPA Fire, Semarang, Central Java

The final waste disposal site (TPA) of Jatibarang Semarang caught fire on Monday afternoon, September 18, 2023. The flammable items made the fire spread quickly until smoke billowing.

Launching from ANTARA, Semarang Mayor Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu said cooling the location of the former fire at the Jatibarang Final Disposal Site (TPA) took at least a week.

"The process (adamation) was extraordinary, so until 4 am (04.00 WIB) I saw only small hotspots," said Ita, Hevearita's nickname, in Semarang, Central Java, Tuesday afternoon.

Even though it has been extinguished, he said, it is possible that there are still remnants of the fire, which if not anticipated could cause another fire, considering that piles of garbage contain methane gas.

"There must still be fire fires. Last night the Head of the Fire Service (Pemadam Fire) conveyed the cooling process for about a week," he said.

Fire At TPA Randegan, Mojokerto, East Java

Who would have thought that at the Randegan Final Disposal Site (TPA) there has also been a fire since Friday, September 8. Reportedly, the waste disposal that can accommodate approximately 60-70 tons of waste per day is on fire for more than 10 days.

The Head of Cleanliness of the Mojokerto City DLH, Erijanto Mukti Wibowo, revealed that until the 10th day of the Randegan TPA fire, the effort to extinguish the fire showed significant results.

So those are some cases of TPA fires in several parts of Indonesia in a week. We just pray that things will not happen again later.
