  "account": "Indonesia aims to extinguish all forest and land fires within one month, according to its environment minister Jumhur Hidayat. The minister stated that the intensity of the fires has begun to decline, which should reduce the time needed to put out the blazes. However, limited water supplies and challenges for water-bombing aircraft continue to hinder firefighting efforts. The Indonesian government is also reviewing a law that allows households to clear up to two hectares of land through burning. Aid offers from other countries will be evaluated based on their type and effectiveness. Over 60,000 personnel have been deployed to ground operations, but aircraft effectiveness may be limited due to poor visibility. Both Malaysia and Singapore have offered assistance, with Malaysia ready to send 55 firefighting personnel, three helicopters, and a plane.",
