A fire accompanied by a firework explosion razed two buildings on\nJalan Siulan, Gang Nusa Indah, East Denpasar, Denpasar City, on Tuesday\nafternoon (15\/9\/2026). The blaze is suspected to have been triggered by\na firework that suddenly exploded whilst being assembled.<\/p>\n
The owner of the burned premises, M. Ali (53), said his building was\nnot a fireworks production site, but rather rented accommodation that\nalso served as a storage place for decoration service equipment.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we bought the fireworks and assembled them for a show. This is\nnot a warehouse, it is rented accommodation. We assembled them, then we\nwere going to transport them,\u201d Ali said when met at the scene of the\nfire.<\/p>\n
Ali said the fire began when his employee was assembling fireworks to\nbe displayed in Karangasem and Nusa Penida the following day. At the\ntime, the employee was assembling them using adhesive tape.<\/p>\n
However, a firework suddenly exploded whilst being assembled. The\nflames then caught the fabrics used for decorations, causing the fire to\nspread rapidly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first we were applying tape, and then suddenly it exploded on its\nown. We are decoration people, so the flames ran to the fabrics and grew\nbigger and bigger,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The explosion is believed to have spread to a motorcycle paint\nworkshop located across from the premises, leaving that workshop burned\nto the ground as well.<\/p>\n
Two people suffered burns in the incident: I Made Gede (35), who was\nreferred to Dharma Yadnya Hospital, and Tina Kustina (22), who sustained\nminor burns.<\/p>\n
Police are still investigating the exact cause of the fire. Both\ncrime scenes have now been cordoned off for forensic examination.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/firework-assembly-explodes-two-buildings-in-denpasar-destroyed-by-fire-1789476762", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
