Skies have turned blood red in an Indonesian province due to a widespread forest fire, which continues to burn.

 

With over 73,000 fire alerts across Indonesia since early September alone, it is believed that many of the fires had been deliberately lit as a cheap method to clear land.

 

While homes in many Indonesian villages have been surrounded by smog for months, residents fear that this dramatic colour change, caused by unusually high pollutant contents in the air, will only continue to worsen with time.
