Description
The helicopter crashed into the Barito River in South Kalimantan, Borneo, on Sunday after scooping up water for a firefighting operation.
Two Australian crew members were rescued safely, while one Indonesian crew member remains missing.
The incident marks the second firefighting helicopter crash in days, following another accident on Wednesday that killed three people.
Indonesia has been battling widespread wildfires across Sumatra, Borneo and Papua, with more than 1.9 million hectares burned and thick haze spreading to neighbouring countries.
Authorities are investigating the crashes as firefighting operations continue.
