PT Mayawana Persada Deploys Integrated Personnel and Infrastructure, Focusing Wildfire Suppression Toward Complete Extinction

At the operational level, firefighting is a collaborative endeavor. The company has strengthened synergy by activating Fire-Care Community (MPA) groups in buffer villages—including Sekucing Kualan, Sekucing Labai, and Sungai Mata-mata—equipped with proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Cross-sectoral cooperation also runs closely alongside the Kayong Utara KPH and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). Through the MATA PANDAWA working group and partnerships with local entities like Yayasan Palung, field operations are reinforced by heavy machinery deployment (PC 60), daily personnel, and the construction of water infrastructure such as reservoirs and firebreaks extending to outer concession boundaries. Operational logistics are additionally coordinated with the Solidaritas Rakyat Borneo post.

Strengthening Long-Term Mitigation: Peatland Water Management

As part of technical mitigation commitments and sustainable ecosystem care, the company consistently optimizes water management. To date, a total of 322 canal blocks and 74 water points are continuously monitored and maintained to preserve soil moisture levels through periodic rewetting.

Running parallel to technical land interventions, essential facility support for residents and field teams has also been distributed. This includes deploying 23 firefighting pump units (Ministrike and Robin types) with hose accessories, supporting a Clean Water Post in Simpang Hilir in cooperation with Kayong Utara BPBD and the West Kalimantan Malay Community Alliance via 5,000-liter water tank supplies, and delivering health logistics for local residents and active task forces.

PT Mayawana Persada remains committed to maintaining transparent coordination channels with all stakeholders to ensure that all suppression and recovery processes remain thorough and accountable.
