The Sleman Regency administration has concluded that the series of\nfires which broke out at the home of Mutfia, a resident of Seyegan,\nSleman, were not caused by a natural phenomenon. Police have now stepped\nin to investigate the possibility of human involvement in the repeated\nfires. The conclusion that the fires were not a natural phenomenon was\ndelivered by two research teams from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and\nUPN \u2018Veteran\u2019 Yogyakarta.<\/p>\n
The Centre for Entropy Degradation Studies (PKPE) at UGM\u2019s Faculty of\nEngineering concluded that the fire terror phenomenon at the Seyegan\nresident\u2019s home was unrelated to gas. The appearance of the fire is\nsuspected to be associated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. \u201cThe\nsource of the fire is not from natural gas seepage from below the\nsurface (floor), there is no thermal anomaly and no gas was found that\ncould self-ignite naturally at room temperature,\u201d explained the head of\nthe PKPE FT UGM team, Prof Alva Edy Tontowi, to journalists at FT UGM on\nSaturday (13\/6\/2026). Based on the research results and referring to the\nFire Triangle Theory principle, the team concluded that the\nelectromagnetic field was measured at a safe level, meaning it was not\nthe ignition source for the flames. The fire that burned materials in\nthis case is likely associated with the presence of PVC resin, which is\nflammable when it encounters an ignition source. This suspicion arose\nafter PVC resin was found on the burned materials. On Friday (12\/6), the\nteam took further samples from fire residue on ceramic wall surfaces and\nwood\/plywood, and analysed them using the FTIR method. \u201cThe FTIR\nanalysis results show that these samples contain polyvinyl chloride\n(PVC), which is not commonly found on ceramic wall or wood\/plywood\nsurfaces,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
A similar view was expressed by the geologist team from UPN \u2018Veteran\u2019\nYogyakarta. The UPN research team found no connection between the gas\ndiscovered in the Nepen River and the fire case at Mutfiana\u2019s house. \u201cWe\nare officially closing (the research). So, there is absolutely no\nconnection between the gas in the Nepen River and the house that caught\nfire,\u201d said the Dean of the Faculty of Mineral and Energy Technology\n(FTME) at UPN \u2018Veteran\u2019 Yogyakarta, Prof.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Ir. RM. Basuki Rahmad,\nwhen met by journalists at the Sleman Regency office on Monday\n(15\/6\/2026). This conclusion was drawn from a series of research results\nconducted by the UPN geologist team, including surface geological\nobservations. From these, the team obtained initial clues in the form of\ndark claystone strongly suspected to be the source of swamp gas.\n\u201cHowever, it turned out that when we checked the gas with a flame, it\nwould not ignite. So, the bubbles are indeed strong,\u201d he continued.\nOther data also indicated the presence of several faults, which were\nthen validated using geoelectric and geomagnetic methods. The results of\nboth observations found a fault directly beneath Fia\u2019s house. \u201cSo, we\nnarrowed it down and concluded that we found no connection between the\nhouse that burned and the gas bubbles we found in the Nepen River, which\nare 250 metres away,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
The Sleman Regency administration delivered the final conclusion of\nthe research into the mysterious fire phenomenon that burned items in\nthe Seyegan resident\u2019s home. This was stated by the Chief Executive of\nthe Sleman Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Bambang Kuntoro,\nfollowing an inter-agency meeting at the Sleman Regent\u2019s office. The\nmeeting was attended by teams from UGM, BPPTKG, UPN, and other relevant\nagencies to present their final research results. Bambang said the\nconclusion was that the appearance of the mysterious fires had no\nconnection to natural phenomena. \u201cThe essence is that from the fire\nphenomenon that appeared in Seyegan, based on all the research results\npresented earlier, there is no connection (to natural phenomena) with\nthe fire that appeared. Natural phenomena did not cause the fire that\nappeared in Seyegan,\u201d Bambang told journalists at the Sleman Regent\u2019s\noffice on Monday (15\/6\/2026). In addition to the UGM and UPN research\nresults, the agency also presented test results from BPPTKG, which\nstated that no indications of hazardous natural gases that could cause a\nfire had been found, and based on temperature measurements, no\nsignificant temperature anomalies indicating a trigger for the fire were\ndiscovered. \u201cThe gas content, whether methane, hydrogen, phosphine gas,\nor swamp gas, from each of these, cannot or is below the threshold to\ncause a fire,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
Based on this conclusion, the police have now stepped in to conduct\nan investigation to uncover the cause of the recurring fires. The Head\nof the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Sleman Resort Police, AKP\nMateus Wiwit Kustiyadi, said his party would seek out the facts in this\nincident. \u201cIn this case, we are looking for facts. Where will these\nfacts lead us? So, we are gathering the facts on the ground,\u201d said Wiwit\nwhen met at the Sleman Regent\u2019s Office on Monday (15\/6\/2026). Wiwit\nstated that the police have not yet investigated the possibility of a\ncriminal element in this case. Before moving to that stage, the police\nwill first determine whether there was an element of intent or not in\nthis incident. \u201cLater, whether there are things beyond natural\nphenomena, we will still gather information, so the facts will be\nrevealed after this,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/new-chapter-in-the-seyegan-fire-house-mystery-1781571014", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
