Indonesian authorities have closed off all access to Mount Bromo national park in East Java province as a fast-moving wildfire has nearly tripled in size. The park operator announced on Saturday that it has barred visitors from Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, located near an active volcano that regularly draws crowds of tourists. Rudijanta Tjahja Nugraha, the park chief, said the closure would remain in effect until further notice. Fires have burned roughly 1,070sq km (415sq miles) of Indonesian land this year, more than twice the area that burned in 2023. That year, a blaze burned more than 500 hectares (1,235 acres) of land on Mount Bromo after a couple lit a flare during a wedding photo shoot.
