Walking Hand-in-Hand with Frontline Heroes to Tackle Wildfires

Facing the challenges of forest and land fires throughout September demanded immense physical resilience, hard work, and steadfast solidarity from everyone on the ground. Amidst conditions that thoroughly tested community endurance, PT Mayawana Persada stepped forward to embrace and support the frontline heroes—ranging from humanitarian volunteers and conservation foundations to government agencies—who worked tirelessly to protect everyone's safety.

This commitment to care stems from the fundamental belief that field protection must begin with safeguarding the well-being of those stationed on the front lines. To support the Simpang Hulu Wildfire Volunteer Team as they remained on high alert, the company provided supplies of isotonic drinks, milk, and vitamin C to keep their stamina high and health optimal during their humanitarian mission. Dewi, a representative of the local volunteers, expressed her deep appreciation for the logistical support and vitamins, noting how vital these supplies were when dealing with demanding field conditions.

This spirit of togetherness also flowed naturally into a close partnership with Yayasan Palung. Through this collaboration, logistical backing and health protection were continuously delivered to sustain teams operating at the forefront. Hendri Gunawan from Yayasan Palung expressed his gratitude for the equipment, vitamins, and protective face masks provided by PT Mayawana Persada, which were promptly distributed back out to protect local communities and affected volunteers around the operational areas.

Beyond grassroots communities and conservation foundations, operational preparedness and coordination were also closely synchronized with government bodies such as the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and the Forest Management Unit (KPH). Essential infrastructure support and field logistics—including food supplies, milk, face masks, and vitamins—were channeled to reinforce the mobility of emergency response teams.

Ponti Wijaya, S.Hut., MM from the Kayong Regional KPH Office expressed deep appreciation for the company’s provision of firefighting pumps, vitamins, milk, and logistics, noting how instrumental this support was in accelerating wildfire suppression efforts across North Kayong.

Through the strong bonds forged between the company, volunteers, strategic partners, and relevant agencies, this coordinated response proved that emergency management is never a burden to be carried alone. Driven by shared solidarity and collaborative action, the protection of our environment and communities continues to be upheld in a sustainable manner.
