Sifat api lahan gambut dan kebutuhan air untuk kegiatan pemadamannya
Land and forest fire has caused major ecosystem and environment damage and economic losses in Indonesia. Therefore, Ministry of Forestry has states controlling of forest fire as one of the five Priority Policy up to 2004. neverthelles, there are still many weaknessed in controlling land and forest fire including the tactic and strategy of fire suppression, early detection system, regulations and law enforcement, society involvement etc. The aims of the research are to know the properties of peat land fire especially the speed of peat land surface and ground fire, to know the avaibility and the volume of water in supporting peat land fire suppression activity, and to determine fire danger class in peat land. The research was conducted from July to December 2002 in ex-PLG 1 Juta Hektar Tumbang Nusa, Kalimantan Tengah. The research was carried out by controlled burning on plots of 10 x 10 m. The surface fuel of the plots were devided into fern (pakis-pakisan) and bush (semak belukar). The paarameters observerd in this research were the speed of surface fire, climate and fuel condition and the volume of water needed to suppress fire in 3 different fire duration (1, 2, 3 days). The result shows that there is correllation between speed of surface fire as dependent variable and fuel and climate condition as independent variables. Besides, there is also correllation between the volume of water needed to suppress fire and duration of fire, climate and fuel condition. Fire danger class in the research location are devided into three classes. They are high, middle and low danger class. The devision is based on the speed of surface fire, water avability and climate condition.
