CIANJUR - Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park Center (TNGGP) noted that the fire that occurred in the Suryakancana Square (Surken) of Mount Gede Pangrango reached 29 thousand square meters. A total of 2,500 square meters of which are edelweis flowerlands. Head of the TNGGP Center, Sapto Aji Prabowo, said that the results of the officers' data collection were 89 percent of the total burned land, including Padang, 9 percent of edelweiss parks, and 2 percent of cantigi plants. "Edelweis flower parks that burned covering an area of 2,500 square meters or 9 percent of the total land burned 29 thousand square meters," he said in Cianjur, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, September 19. Most of the burned land is included in the Salabintana zone. As of Monday night, the fire had been completely extinguished and joint officers consisting of 109 people were still at the location to ensure the fire did not return to light. Meanwhile, regarding the main factors causing the fire, said Sapto, it is still under investigation, allegedly due to natural factors in the hot weather that can ignite a fire that has burned grounds that have dried up in recent weeks. "So far, the cause of the fire was due to 99 percent human action and 1 percent of natural factors, so we are still investigating because when the fire broke out there were no climbing activities," he said. To anticipate the occurrence of further fires, his party is still alerting 100 joint teams consisting of TNGGP officers, Cianjur Police, volunders, natural volunteers assisted by local residents and fire extinguishers. The joint team succeeded in extinguishing the fire that had burned 3 hectares of madminton and a number of edelweis flowers in Suryakancana Square, Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park (TNGGP), Monday (18/9/2023) after being raging for more than four hours. Around 100 people who were members of the team immediately extinguished using makeshift equipment, including the ones they wore after wetting the water.
"After being raging for more than four hours Monday evening at around 18.00 WIB, the fire was finally extinguished by a joint team consisting of TNGGP officers, Polri, volunders, volunteers and environmental activists, using manual tools," he said.
