印尼布罗莫国家公园山火夺走4名扑火者生命另有2人重度烧伤警方调查起火原因
泗水——据美联社 10 月 16 日报道，印度尼西亚东爪哇省布罗莫—腾格尔—塞梅鲁国家公园的一场山火在扑救过程中夺走 4 名扑火者的生命。10 月 15 日，由国家公园管理人员、社区消防员与当地志愿者组成的 12 人队伍在普罗博林戈县门蒂根（Mentigen）与普松林克（Pusung Lingker）一带灭火时，强风令火情骤变，6 人被火焰与浓烟围困：3 人当场死亡，3 人重度烧伤，其中 1 人送医后不治；其余队员脱险。两名重伤者被送往泗水的苏托莫博士总医院救治。由于车辆无法抵达事发地点，救援人员用担架步行约两公里（1.2 英里）才把伤亡者抬出。
这场山火最早于 10 月 13 日下午 2 时 23 分许被报告，火头位于国家公园范围外、恩加迪雷霍村普松达瓦（Pusung Dawa）附近的一处居民田地，随后蔓延入园；10 月 14 日上午 11 时 45 分火势曾被报告扑灭，但 10 月 15 日上午 9 时 20 分，园方在切莫罗拉旺观察哨望见浓烟再度升起，扑火队随即进山复燃点处置，下午约 1 时遭遇风向与火势突变。
印尼林业部 10 月 16 日（周五）发表声明证实四名扑火者死亡，并称初步评估显示火源来自公园范围之外的区域。警方已展开调查，方向包括是否存在玩忽职守。据美联社与法新社报道，印度尼西亚正经历十多年来最严重的林火季，烟霾已飘散至邻国，多地学校停课、呼吸道不适者增多；总统普拉博沃·苏比延多已批准接受国际援助。此前今年 8 月，同一国家公园内曾有一场山火烧毁约 9 平方公里草原。
Four Firefighters Killed Battling Blaze in Indonesia's Bromo National Park, Two More Seriously Burned
Surabaya — Four firefighters have been killed battling a wildfire in Indonesia's Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java, the Associated Press reported on October 16. On October 15, a 12- member team of park personnel, community firefighters and local volunteers working in the Mentigen and Pusung Lingker areas of Probolinggo Regency was overtaken when strong winds suddenly changed fire conditions: six members were trapped by flames and smoke, three died at the scene and three suffered severe burns, one of whom later died in hospital; the rest of the team escaped unharmed. The two surviving burn victims were taken to Dr. Soetomo General Hospital in Surabaya. Because vehicles could not reach the site, rescuers carried the casualties on stretchers for roughly 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).
The fire was first reported at about 2:23 p.m. on October 13 in a resident's field outside the park near Pusung Dawa in Ngadirejo village, and spread into the park. It was reported extinguished at 11:45 a.m. on October 14, but at 9:20 a.m. on October 15 park staff at the Cemoro Lawang observation post saw smoke rising again, and the crew went back in; at about 1 p.m. the wind shifted and conditions turned.
Indonesia's Forestry Ministry confirmed the four deaths in a statement on Friday, saying a preliminary assessment indicated the fire originated outside the national park's boundaries. Police have opened an investigation, including into possible negligence.
According to AP and AFP reporting, Indonesia is battling its worst fire season in more than a decade, with haze spreading to neighbouring countries, schools shut and respiratory complaints rising; President Prabowo Subianto has approved accepting international assistance. A separate fire in August burned about 9 square kilometers (3.5 square miles) of grassland in the same national park.
