Six fire incidents hit Greater Jakarta on Friday
Updated: 2012-08-24-17:44
The last incident occurred near the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) entertainment park in East Jakarta. A booth located just outside the TMII complex caught fire.
Apart from rampant electricity thefts, which had triggered many of the fires, Paimin said that severe droughts and strong winds had also contributed in the fire incidents over the last few days.
“Some of the destroyed houses were semi-permanent structures, easily razed by fires,” he said.
Despite these ubiquitous incidents, Paimin said that the agency had done everything it could to reach the locations of the fires as quickly as possible to minimize the impact of the flames.
“The Jakarta Fire Agency has about 430 fire trucks that can reach all areas of the city,” he said. (yps)
