One person died and six others were seriously injured in a fire that ravaged a helmet factory on Jl. Prepedan Dalam in Kamal subdistrict, Kalideres, West Jakarta on Saturday.
The deceased was identified as 33-year-old Kusnadi, while the six others who were rushed to the adjacent Hermina Hospital were Riyan, 20; Didin, 25; Kustirnyo, 26; Fauji, 38; Santo, 26; and Slamet, 30. All the victims were working in the factory at the time of the fire.
Kalideres Police chief Comr. Darmawan Karo said the fire may have been triggered by sparks from the printing section at the factory, then spread rapidly because of the use of many chemicals and paint at the factory.
“The fire spread rapidly and became uncontrollable while the victims were working,” he said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
He said the fire was extinguished after 17 fire trucks from the West Java municipal administration were deployed.
