Abstract: The phenomenon of forest and land fires has had a major impact on everyone's life. Where the government has worked hard to solve this problem through policies, institutions, and funding. But this happens again and again throughout the year, so this is important to be addressed by all parties to help stop forest and land fires in Riau Province. This study uses an empirical juridical approach, where the analysis of research data is carried out through qualitative description. The results show that the Riau Provincial Government has issued an advisory on “Anticipating land and forest fires in the Province of Riau in 2020†to prevent land and forest fires disasters that occur repeatedly. In addition, all kinds of policies and funding have been prepared. However, due to overly complex technical problems and local regulations that have not been able to solve all problems, forest and land fires still occur in several places in Riau Province. Therefore, the Bengkalis Regency and Meranti Islands Regency Governments need to be dedicated and consistent in working to improve the work system and governance between agencies and institutions. In addition, there is a need for a regulation on forest and land fire management that is responsive to the situation and conditions that occur in the region.
