Ensure all elements are ready and every hotspot information must be followed up quickly and precisely. Do not let the fire spread and widen.

Nyamin emphasized the critical nature of the air command post's readiness, stating, "Ensure all elements are ready and every hotspot information must be followed up quickly and precisely. Do not let the fire spread and widen." He highlighted that the aerial support is vital for rapid response, especially in areas inaccessible by land, and for effective monitoring and ground checking.

Air operations and ground operations must go hand in hand. We must ensure the fire can be controlled as early as possible, while also carrying out cooling to prevent it from re-emerging.

The commander stressed the need for seamless coordination between aerial operations and ground fire suppression teams. "Air operations and ground operations must go hand in hand. We must ensure the fire can be controlled as early as possible, while also carrying out cooling to prevent it from re-emerging," he stated. This integrated approach is key to controlling fires in their early stages and preventing their escalation.

Brigjen TNI Nyamin reiterated the importance of constant vigilance and cross-sector synergy among all members of the Karhutla Task Force. "We move together across sectors, continuously synergizing, with one goal: to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible and protect the community and the environment," he concluded, underscoring the collective effort required to combat the persistent threat of forest and land fires in Jambi.
