PELALAWAN - Some areas in Pelalawan Regency began to rain, tonight and this morning, Friday (08/16/2019). Last night it rained on the TNTN of Toro Hamlet, Ukui.

This morning it rained in the City of Pangkalan Kerinci. But this morning, the rain in Pangkalan Kerinci was not classified as heavy, and only briefly.

"For Toro, it rained heavily last night. And the point of fire, God willing, was extinguished, due to fires on mineral land," said Hadi Penandio, Head of the Regional Disaster Management Agency in Pelalawan Regency.

As for the rain level at Pangkalan Kerinci this morning, he was convinced he could not extinguish the fires. Because the burned land is peatland.

"But for smoke, it is somewhat reduced from yesterday, because of this rain," added Hadi Penandio.

Hadi could not be sure, which areas in Pelalawan Regency had been rained since yesterday and today.

"Certainly for Ukui and Kerinci rain. While other areas, I have not received an official report from the team below," he added.

From Riau24.com monitoring, from noon until this morning, some areas in Pelalawan Regency were washed down by rain. From the status of citizens on social media, at least some areas in Kuala Kampar and Bunut sub-districts have been monitored. ***
