Shrubs and grass in the area easily visible along the road between Denpasar and Gilimanuk as well as between Cegik and Singaraja are drying out. Deposit of drying leaf and strong wind are very sensitive to flame.

Head of West Bali National Park, Bambang Darmadja confirmed that the area is at high risk for fire during dry season, with the highest risk spread along Cegik – Singaraja track especially between Terima gulf to Banyuwedang and around Gilimanuk.
