NAGAN RAYA - Secretary of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh, Said Nazaruddin said efforts to extinguish peatland fires in the Pulo Kruet Village area, Darul Makmur District, were constrained by limited water sources.
"Water sources are the main obstacle to the difficulty of extinguishing land fires in Nagan Raya," he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, June 1.
He said the area of peatland that has been burned in Nagan Raya Regency is 23 hectares. Earlier last week, only seven hectares of land were burned.
Said Nazaruddin said that currently about 20 hectares of burned land have been extinguished, and the remaining three hectares are still being watered by officers.

He explained that the process of extinguishing the fire at the location of the peatland fire involved personnel from the Nagan Raya BPBD, TNI, Polri, Forestry Police, employees of plantation companies, and the community.
Because it was difficult to get a water source, he said, his party was forced to direct the water pump machine together with the TNI/Polri with the help of the community to extinguish the fire at the fire site in the hope that the burning peatland could be extinguished as soon as possible.
