According to Nurpana, the fire razed Blok Genthong, Ngablak Village, Magelang, Central Java. On August 17, other fire had burned in Blok Tempel, Ngargosuko Village, Magelang.<\/p>\n
\u201cAround 20 to 30 hectares land is estimated to have been burned on Merapi slope this time,\u201d Nurpana revealed.<\/p>\n
Nurpana said that drought and high-speed wind had spread the fire to wider area on Saturday until 21.00 local time. It is said that the Early Warning System device to monitor cold lava flood was affected by the fire. However, it\u2019s still unknown whether the device had damaged.<\/p>\n
It is strongly believed that human error has caused the fire in Merapi.<\/p>\n
