Forest fires were seen burning in Pekanbaru, Riau province on Sunday (March 1) as the dry season begins in Indonesia.

Indonesian farmers often use fire to clear land during the dry season, but they can rage out of control.

Last year the fires burnt nearly 16,000 square kilometers (6,200 square miles).
