We were truly shocked and saddened by the unfortunate events that has happened to the people of Kampung Baru Karak recently. Fires have destroyed 76 houses and 11 shop lots, forced 80 families to evacuate their homes.
Thanks to Multicare Health Pharmacy for organizing this CSR campaign, namely Disaster Relief project, JOYLEE is able to play our part and stand together with people who have lost their home after the fire. As one of the contributors, JOYLEE has donated RM3000 supporting fund and oximeters to this campaign. Supporting fund would be used to purchase some necessity items like cooking oil, rice and other condiments to the fire victims.
The Disaster Relief project started from 5th October to 7th October 2021 (3 days), at Dewan JJJK Kampung Baru Karak. Other than taking care of the victims by providing shelter and foods, healthcare related items are also distributed to the victims to ensure they are protected from germs-causing illness during this critical moment.
The forest fires of 2015 were an unforgettable experience for the people of Borneo as forest, agricultural land and plantations burnt. The flames spread quickly and fire hot spots could be seen across the island.
There were many challenges when fighting these fires and a lack of equipment and human resources, and the remote location of the fires resulted in blazes quickly burning out of control. The people in the nearby villages and communities are on the front line and the first people to be impacted by the devastating effects of these fires.
Facilitated by Borneo Nature Foundation, Yayasan Cakrawala Indonesia (YCI) in collaboration with Bukit Tunggal Fire-fighting Team and Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) recently carried out training sessions in the village of Mungku Baru (the closest village to our field site in the Rungan Forest) to increase the readiness and capability of the community to fight fires in the future.
During the workshop, participants were given theoretical and practical training. They were presented with information about forest and land fire disaster management, types of forest and land fire, causes and impacts of fire, and post fire action.
On the final day of training, participants were introduced to fire-fighting equipment and how to operate them by the Bukit Tunggal Fire-fighting Team. Participants were also taught special sign language that must be understood by all fire-fighters in an emergency situation.
Mr Wayan, the chairman of Bukit Tunggal, said that this community are the ideal target group for training because the majority of the trainees own land in Mungku Baru village so they should be provided with important information and practical skills for managing fires. He also hopes that such training is repeated regularly so that the information obtained by trainees will not disappear quickly and they can apply the information they have learnt to increase awareness to protect their environment and can be wiser about using fire for land clearing.
Mr. Riun, representing the trainees, expressed his gratitude to BNF, YCI, BPBD and Bukit Tunggal who have provided this training and hoped that the experience during these three days can be remembered and implemented by the participants, so they will be ready for any future fire incident.

According to the police's investigation, the suspects were carrying out a repair inside the machine room of the Artamina Jaya vessel before the incident occurred. They welded some material, sparking a fire which later engulfed 34 fishing boats.
"They knew the procedure but they didn't follow it. The procedure stipulates that when welding, the room has to have a blower, an oxygen supplier and a heat vacuum," Argo said as quoted by kompas.com on Saturday.
"The boat began moving in a random direction, hitting and burning other boats that were also made of fiber and wood," Argo said, noting that strong winds on the coast at the time of the incident caused the fire to spread even faster.
The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, has called for an immediate assessment of the damage caused by a fire on the Escarvos to Lagos Pipeline (ELP), a natural gas pipeline which supplies gas from Escravos region of the Niger Delta area to Lagos.
NNPC firemen were drafted to the scene and were able to contain the fire from the leak point of the pipeline incident. However, the fire could not be extinguished due to the high pressure of the line.
The exercise will affect gas supply to customers in Ondo, Ogun and Lagos State with subsequent shutdown of the following power plants with a combined generating capacity of 1,143MW: Egbin, Lagos, Olorunshogo, PEL Olorunshogo, Ogun, Paras Power Plant, Ogun and Omotosho plant, Ondo State.

The handover of emergency response equipment to the residents of Tello Baru is a proactive measure to address flood and fire disasters. This inauguration event also formalized the Tello Baru Sub-District Emergency Response Team. The hope is that the establishment of this emergency response team can minimize casualties when disasters occur.
In line with this, the Secretary of Panakkukang District in Makassar, Mr. Abd Muis, expressed his gratitude. In his speech, he stated that PLN Indonesia Power and Human Initiative have provided a valuable and community-specific contribution to the residents of Tello Baru.
The provision of emergency response equipment is an ongoing program resulting from the social mapping study conducted by Human Initiative South Sulawesi in Tello Baru Sub-District. This activity is an effort to better understand the most pressing needs of the Tello Baru community.

By nature, emergencies are fast-paced and unpredictable events, often requiring rapid and accurate information to turn tragedy into triumph. Recently, emergency responders-including San Diego fire fighters and the American Red Cross-have discovered that the resources and expertise of the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego can help meet their needs for quick, reliable, and up-to-date information in times of crisis.
SDSC experts are answering these calls through innovative data cyberinfrastructure technologies designed to respond to a wide range of emergencies, from earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires to attacks on the Internet. So, when a crisis hits and people ask, "Who you gonna call?" the answer may come as a surprise.
On the front lines of a fire, everything is heat and smoke. As conditions change, fires can turn, jump containment lines, accelerate faster than a man can run, or "blow up" in a violent conflagration. In such situations, firefighters need to know as much as possible about dynamically changing factors including humidity, wind, hotspots, vegetation, terrain, and allocation of manpower and equipment. They need access to a huge volume of data, which can't easily be relayed deep into the backcountry of San Diego County by radio or cell phone.
