A number of stalls on Jalan Kedoya Raya, South Kedoya, Kebon Jeruk,\nWest Jakarta, were destroyed by fire on Friday afternoon. The fire\nbrigade deployed dozens of personnel to subdue the flames in the densely\npopulated area.<\/p>\n
The Head of Operations for the West Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service,\nSyaiful Kahfi, confirmed that the fire report was received at 1:47 PM\nWIB. In response to the report, officers immediately moved towards the\nscene.<\/p>\n
\u201cUpon receiving the report, we immediately deployed an initial force\nof six units with 30 personnel,\u201d Syaiful stated when confirmed in\nJakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival at the location, officers found the fire already in a\nlarge-scale state, or \u2018red status\u2019. To accelerate the extinguishing\nprocess and prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings, the West\nJakarta Fire and Rescue Service increased the number of vehicles and\npersonnel on the ground.<\/p>\n
In total, 10 fire engines supported by 50 personnel were deployed to\nthe fire site. The extinguishing efforts were intensive, and officers\nmanaged to extinguish the main fire points approximately 20 minutes\nafter the operation began.<\/p>\n
At this time, the exact cause of the fire that destroyed the stalls\nhas not yet been identified. Syaiful explained that by the time officers\narrived, the fire had already grown so large that it was difficult to\nvisually identify the initial source.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not yet known; when officers arrived at the location, the\nstatus was already red (the fire was already raging),\u201d Syaiful\nexplained.<\/p>\n
Although material losses are estimated to be quite significant given\nthat several stalls were completely burnt, the Fire and Rescue Service\nensured that there were no injuries or fatalities in this incident.\nOfficers have since conducted a cooling process to ensure there are no\nremaining embers that could potentially trigger a secondary fire.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/stalls-burnt-in-kedoya-west-jakarta-10-firefighting-units-deployed-1788519213", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
