How does that cuase forest fire? A : Yes, of cource, Companies and farmers often cut their land before they plant new crops. The problem is that after that they burn the trees. The fire can then spread uncontrolably to the forest. B : In my opinion, some forest fires in Riau are caused by drought and heat waves so that the fire spreads faster because of the hot environmental conditions as a result of degraded forests. A :Yes it is. Fire can burn faster in dry air and with lack of rain. B : Hopefully the fire can be put down fast before it spread more. The smoke can cause lungs and throats irritation. It is very dangerous for children and elderly to breathe in such dirty atmospheres. A : Yes it is very dangerous. The smoke hamper and disrupt transportations too. Flight had to be cancelled and driving cars in smoke is very risky. B : Do you know the articles in the Constitution that regulate fires?
