A fire occurred at a building in the Cikini area of Central Jakarta.\nFire brigade officer Subady said the flames emerged from the ground\nfloor of the building.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we arrived, we saw the fire was initially on the ground floor,\nand then it spread upwards. This is only our preliminary assumption\nbecause we are only making a visual observation. As for where exactly it\ncame from, that will be determined later in the police investigation,\u201d\nSubady said in Cikini, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday (5\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
Subady said the police would investigate the cause of the building\nfire. He said the ground floor of the building contained flammable\nmaterials, such as plywood and timber.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just one building. The point of origin was actually at the\nbottom because the smoke rose upwards,\u201d Subady said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs it is still under construction, there are many materials on site,\nsuch as plywood and the like, and timber as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Subady said the building was still in the construction or renovation\nphase. He noted that the structure has five floors.<\/p>\n
\u201cNaturally, in any construction project there are flammable materials\nlike that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
