Early intervention :-
(1) Prevent and stop people from burning - through enforcement
(2) Early declaration of emergency measures - to deploy fire fighting measures
(3) Prosecution of people that are caught igniting fire
(4) Make every province accountable
will help to prevent an uncontrollable burning producing haze - that will damage the Economy and damage people's health.

Of course digging canal (like checker boxes) - will serve as a fire barrier to prevent fire from crossing the canal.
The water (trapped rainwater) from canal - can be use to fight fire - especially in areas where fire fighting vehicles cannot access.
All these can help to control the fire - and prevent the fire from going out of control.

Actually building water canal and irrigation water across all the palm plantations will be a good fire barrier as well as reservoir for water to flood the plantation and put out the peatland fire.
This idea is being put forward 3 to 4 years ago - where only this couple of days, President Jokowi pick it up.
Fire will not be able to spread by crossing the canal fill up with water.
To help to fight fire, water from the canal can be drawn to put out the fire.
When fire smoulder underground from the peat fire, water gates can be open for the canal water to flood the plantation and put out the fire.
Every plantation owners should be ordered to build canals and irrigation drainage in their plantation in order to be issue with license.
This will help to speed up the canal construction process.

Canal buildings should not only be the sole approach to fight haze fire.
Legislations to punish plantation owners that adopt slash and burn should be adopted.

Canal or irrigation drainage can be build like a checkered chess board.
Fires will be contained within each squared chess board and can be put out very quickly as fire cannot be spread across a chequered square.
Plantation owners without ethics who want to start a fire will face difficulty as previously without the canal, some fuel and a match stick will cause the fire to spread unabated.
With checkered canal or irrigation drainage, he will have to lit fire in every checkered box - and he will be caught easily the moment he start a fire in one or 2 checkered box.

Also easy to prosecute plantation owners who claim ignorance of starting a fire because only a person who deliberately start a fire will have to do so in every checkered box.
