What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Wildfires were monitored near Mount Ringgit and Pusung Lingker, located near Surabaya. Responders were unable to manually suppress the fires because the sites were on steep, inaccessible slopes. Strong winds and dry vegetation fueled the spread of the flames. Six responders and volunteers were trapped while fighting the fires; four died, and two others were treated in intensive care at Dr. Soetomo Hospital in Surabaya.
