Factory Parking Area in Demak Catches Fire, 20 Motorcycles Destroyed

The parking area of the PT RCL Travelware Indonesia factory, located on Jalan Raya Demak-Kudus, Gajah District, Demak Regency, has been affected by a fire. As a result, dozens of motorcycles were burnt to the ground.

“It is true that at around 1:32 PM WIB, we received information from an employee of PT RCL regarding a fire incident within the PT RCL premises. The fire affected motorcycle units in the parking area,” said the Commander of the Demak Fire Brigade, Muh Imron, to reporters at the Demak Fire Brigade Headquarters on Wednesday (9/9/2026).

Imron explained that the fire occurred after a single motorcycle caught fire. The flames then spread, consuming dozens of other motorcycles in the parking area.

“For the current chronology, the fire was caused by one motorcycle unit exploding. As for the number of motorcycles burnt, we have counted 20 motor vehicles; they are all completely burnt, leaving only the vehicle frames,” Imron stated.

Imron noted that the firefighting process was rapid and encountered no significant obstacles, as employees had already attempted to extinguish the flames using portable fire extinguishers (APAR) and larger fire extinguishers (APAB).

“The firefighting process was quite fast because by the time we arrived, the fire had already been addressed using the APAR and APAB equipment owned by RCL. Therefore, upon arrival, we were able to localise the fire and carry out cooling operations,” said Imron.
