A 15-year-old boy in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, is helping battle wildfires threatening his community - while wearing a Superman costume. Rudiansyah, a 10th-grader, joins his father and local volunteers after school, spraying water on the flames as fires spread across the region. ’Rather than stay home on my phone, I'd join the firefighting crew,’ he said. His father says Rudiansyah understands the firefighting operations and knows what to do. Indonesia’s Forestry Ministry recorded 107,465 hectares burned between January and June this year, a 110% increase from the same period in 2023, when El Niño last hit the country.
