He stated that currently the weather conditions are very hot, so that the bush on the dried land will not be burned by itself.
"This land was not burned, because of the heat of this weather. For example, the Waste Disposal Site (TPA) at the Belitung Seberang Juru caught fire on its own, due to the presence of methane gas exploding due to high air temperatures which eventually caused a fire at the TPA," he said.
