A house on Jalan Tambora II RT 001\/007 was\nleft in ruins, and an elderly person sustained burns requiring medical\ntreatment. Syaiful Kahfi, Head of the Operations Section at the Sudin\nDinas Penanggulangan Kebakaran dan Penyelamatan (Gulkarmat) West\nJakarta, told reporters, \u2018Yes, there was (an explosion) due to a gas\ncylinder.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tambora Police Sector Chief AKP Wahyu Hidayat said the blast was\nsuspected to be caused by a leak from a 12 kg gas cylinder, adding,\n\u2018There was (an explosion). It is related to a gas leak.\u2019 The victim, an\nelderly person initials SKC, aged 71, sustained burns and needed\nhospital treatment. \u2018The victim is one person; not serious, burns but\nnot life-threatening,\u2019 Wahyu noted. Police have secured the scene and\nlaunched investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Video footage of the incident circulated on social media, including\non the Instagram account <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"warga.jakbar\">@warga.jakbar<\/span>. In one clip, the white\nfence of the house appears tilted from the explosion. Antara quoted\nTambora Subdistrict Chief Pangestu Aji as saying there were five people\nin the house when the gas exploded, with the gravest injuries to elderly\nSKC. He added that the building was heavily damaged.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary indications suggest the gas cylinder regulator was not\ntightened properly when closed. \u2018If the seal was not tight, once the gas\nwas turned on, it spread; when electricity flowed, it triggered an\nexplosion, though it did not ignite a fire,\u2019 Aji said.<\/p>",
