If you're packing your bags to fly over and join the fire brigade I'll be happy to give you a garden hose and a pair of gloves.

What about all the fires in the western US? They weren't purposely started for commercial gain.

Sadly, there is endangered wildlife in Indonesia. However, history shows the people of Indonesia are endangered from the corruption within their government. Money from known bribes fuels a different fire within that country. Here's hoping Indonesia gets the attention it deserves.

Will it affect Indonesian guitar manufacturing? Suar/monkeypod wood from Indonesia has become more common, and Indonesia also exports Indian Rosewood (sometimes relabeled Indonesian Rosewood).

Exactly!
The Cort factory that produces most of the Squiers, and the Fender amp factory that produces all of the Champions and Rumbles.

I called Fender and there is no official information concerning the fires impact on the amplifier factory or the men and women that make up it's workforce.

Here's a new video. http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/10/30/indonesia-fights-forest-fires-haze-molko-pkg.cnn
