Indonesia Closes Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Due to Wildfire
A wildfire has burned approximately 176 hectares (435 acres) in Indonesia's Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park on Java Island, prompting authorities to close the park to visitors until further notice. Hundreds of firefighters, along with helicopters and drones, are combating the blaze, which is complicated by steep terrain and strong winds. The fire occurs amid an unusually dry season influenced by the El Nino weather pattern, increasing wildfire risks across Indonesia, including other recent fires in Central and West Java.
