INALUM dan BAI (anak usaha INALUM serta ANTAM) memperkuat penanganan karhutla di Kabupaten Mempawah, Kalimantan Barat, dengan menerjunkan 60 personel pemadam kebakaran bersertifikat gabungan dari Grup MIND ID, termasuk INALUM, ANTAM, Bukit Asam, Timah, Freeport, dan Vale Indonesia. Penanganan difokuskan pada kebakaran lahan gambut yang membutuhkan penyisiran dan pendinginan berulang karena api dapat bertahan di bawah permukaan.
