印度尼西亚东爪哇省布罗莫腾格尔塞梅鲁国家公园内的野火持续蔓延,已烧毁约176公顷山地[1][2]。这场始于周一的火灾导致公园于8月9日周六关闭[2],公园主任鲁迪詹塔·恰亚·努格拉表示将继续关闭直至另行通知[1]。当局已动员数百名消防员、灾害管理人员、警察、士兵、公园护林员和志愿者参与扑救,并投入直升机和无人机协助灭火[1]。
火灾蔓延面临复杂地形阻碍,部分热点位于陡峭火山斜坡难以通过陆地到达[1]。这场大火是印度尼西亚在异常干旱季节期间多起野火中最大的一起,厄尔尼诺天气模式与澳大利亚季节性干风的结合加剧了火势蔓延[1]。2026年上半年印度尼西亚火灾损毁面积超过107,000公顷,是2023年同期的两倍多[2]。与此同时,中爪哇班尤马斯摄政区周五也爆发森林火灾,西爪哇格德帕克兰戈国家公园苏里亚肯恰那草地本周同样发生火灾[1]。
A major wildfire has engulfed approximately 176 hectares (435 acres) within the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java, Indonesia, prompting authorities to shut down the park to protect visitors.[1][2] The fire, which began on Monday, has mobilized hundreds of firefighters, disaster management personnel, police officers, soldiers, park rangers, and volunteers to combat the blaze, supported by helicopters and drones.[1][2]
Park officials announced the closure on Saturday, August 9, and stated the facility would remain closed until further notice.[1][2] Authorities face significant challenges in containing the fire due to the rugged terrain, with some hotspots situated on steep volcanic slopes that are difficult to reach by land, making aerial operations essential for accessing remote areas.[1][2] The fire is attributed to land-clearing activities combined with an unusually severe dry season driven by El Niño weather patterns and seasonal dry winds from Australia.[1][2]
This wildfire represents the largest in a series of fires sweeping across Indonesia during the dry season.[1] Concurrent fires have broken out in Central Java's Banyumas Regency and at the Surya Kencana grassland in West Java's Gedepakrango National Park.[1] The broader fire situation has become critical, with more than 107,000 hectares burned across Indonesia in the first half of 2026—more than double the corresponding period in 2023.[2]
