        "summary": "Fire authorities battled a blaze at a plastic warehouse in Kapuk, West Jakarta, deploying excavators to improve cooling and reach the base of the fire. The operation faced difficulties due to stored plastic and debris, with 16 fire engines on standby and a Bronto Skylift used for aerial spraying; the fire periodically rekindled despite initial suppression. The response involved coordination with the building owner to bring in heavy machinery to tackle the obstruction.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 The West Jakarta Fire and Rescue Sub-Department\n(Sudin Gulkarmat Jakarta Barat) immediately deployed heavy equipment\nsuch as excavators to maximise the cooling process of a fire that struck\na plastic warehouse on Jalan Peternakan Raya, Gang Semut, Kapuk,\nCengkareng, West Jakarta (Jakbar). Head of Operations at Sudin Gulkarmat\nJakarta Barat, Syaiful Kahfi, said the plastic material involved in the\nfire and the collapse of building debris hindered the cooling process.\n\u2018There are a lot of stacked goods, so we are still on this. Because the\nfire involves plastic items, if we spray them it doesn\u2019t reach down to\nthe bottom,\u2019 Syaiful said when contacted in Jakarta on Tuesday.\nTherefore, he said, heavy equipment needs to be brought in to dismantle\nthe debris that is pressing on the plastic material, so that the\nspraying really reaches the base. He said they are coordinating with the\nbuilding owner to promptly bring the heavy equipment to the scene. \u2018We\nare coordinating with the building owner to prepare a beko (excavator),\nso it will be dismantled first, then we spray it. Use the beko to\ndismantle first, then we spray. If not, it will drag on, they will call\nus tomorrow, call us, like that,\u2019 Syaiful said. In addition, the front\nyard of the warehouse is flooded with firefighting water and littered\nwith rubble from collapsed structures. Meanwhile, the roof and walls on\nthe side of the warehouse appear to have collapsed. At least 16 fire\nengines remain on standby at the scene. A Bronto Skylift fleet was\ndeployed at the site to spray water from above onto the points of rubble\nand remaining plastic material. Several times the fire was extinguished\nand the smoke slowly faded, but it kept flaring again and producing\nthick black smoke plumes.<\/p>",
