The incident occurred at 05:30 WIB. \u2018We deployed a total of 14 units\ncomprising 70 personnel,\u2019 said Syaiful Kahfi, Head of Operations at\nSudin Gulkarmat Jakbar, speaking to reporters at the scene.<\/p>\n
By 10:00 WIB, firefighting had moved into the cooling phase.<\/p>\n
\u2018The situation is now in overhaul (final stage). So we have checked\nall areas burned in the auditorium; we have completed inspections,\noverhaul, cooling,\u2019 said Syaiful.<\/p>\n
He added that hotspots remain to be extinguished, particularly in the\nceiling area on the 5th floor.<\/p>\n
\u2018There are still embers, not large, just small. We have dismantled\nthe ceiling, opened everything, checked the corridor. There are no large\nhotspot points,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
To date, the cause of the fire remains under police investigation.\nFire authorities have not yet been able to identify the ignition point,\nas thick smoke had filled the entire room when crews arrived.<\/p>\n
\u2018Yes, not yet. Because when we arrived, the condition on the 5th\nfloor was that the smoke was already full, very thick. So we had to\nenter using breathing apparatus, then we carried out firefighting and\nlooked for hotspots. The ignition point was somewhat difficult to find\ndue to the smoke,\u2019 said Syaiful.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/binus-kemanggisan-auditorium-fire-extinguished-70-personnel-deployed-1779542225", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
