Wildfire kills 4 firefighters in Indonesia's Mount Bromo national park

At least four people have died and two others suffered severe burns while battling wildfires in a national park on Indonesia 's main island, officials said on Friday. They were trapped by thick smoke and fast-spreading flames in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in East Java, a Forestry Ministry statement said, as the country's worst wildfires in a decade swept through the area. The southeast Asian country has been battling a months-long crisis of blazes and toxic smoke, forcing schools to shut down and causing a surge in respiratory complaints in the region.
