00:05The wildfire struck Bromotengar Samiru National Park in East Java.
00:09The 12-person team included park personnel, community firefighters, and local volunteers.
00:15Officials said strong winds pushed flames rapidly through dry vegetation.
00:19At around 1.30 p.m. Thursday, colleagues outside the danger zone received an emergency call from the trapped team.
00:26Rescuers later found three people dead and three suffering severe burns.
00:31One of the injured died during treatment.

00:48Police are investigating the deaths.
