Fire In Cemoro Sewu, Mountain Lawu Central Java

The Status of  Lawu mountain fired  observed since 18 October 2015. The fire seen among post 3-4 Cemoro sewu eastern Java. To this day the 25th of October 2015 or the week of the fire has spread to the region of Central Java.
Fire in the region of Central Java looks at four points around the 63 plots behind the post 2 'Cemoro Kandang', on Gondosuli, about Tahura in post 2-3 and one point of Jogorogo direction towards the Candi Cetho.
Efforts outage has been done until now. In Cemoro sewu in Alert 2 water tanks in anticipation of a state of emergency because of the movement of the fire was approaching the agricultural land area residents. Residents already standby in anticipation of the movement of the fire was approaching land.
In plot 63 fires have started to spread to swath 62. The extent swath approximately 8-10 ha. At this location the most vulnerable because it was closer to land people.
Judging from the movement of the fire for one week starting on post 4 Cemoro sewu up to 62 plots Tahura and the fire was moving approximately 8 km. It is certainly worrying. The movement of the fire to the north and has a tendency to bottom. This is possible because the vegetation Lawu over 3 posts tend to be small trees and shrubs that may have been depleted during the past week. So it is most likely move down towards fire forest forestry management. If the fire has come down very likely be larger, since vegetation is pine forest. And this will greatly complicate efforts and fire extinguishing relatively longer lit with fired that burn small trees and shrubs.
Feels that the current impact is the loss of clean water coming from the mountain population of Mountain Lawu. may also affect the water supply in the future due to the loss of forests in mountain Lawu. Other impacts on the region of wonogiri karang anyar eastern part such as a foggy atmosphere. This may be due to smoke from fires Lawu mountain.
Suppression efforts carried out by forestry and local residents. The main constraint is the shortage of personnel and fire-fighting equipment such as Chainshaw, shovel and others.
