He explained that efforts to extinguish forest and land fires in the Ogan Komering Ilir area are sometimes hampered by terrain that is difficult to pass.

If needed, helicopters are operated to carry out water bombings in an effort to extinguish land fires in areas that are difficult to reach from land.
