The team will also combine this with the\nresults of interviews with witnesses who first saw the fire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the reference is the condition of the crime scene. So the\ncondition of the crime scene that we find later will be the reference.\nCombined with the statements of witnesses who first saw the fire,\u201d he\nstressed.<\/p>\n<p>Based on preliminary data, at least 75 residential units were burned.\nIn addition to residential homes, a number of traditional and public\nfacilities were also affected.

Outside the main area of the fire, around 20\nresidential units outside the Sade Traditional Village were also\naffected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince yesterday we have been calculating the condition and state of\nthe affected area. First, we need to convey that there are 75\nresidential units.
