Head of the Gorontalo Province Satpol PP Masran Rauf said that six fire engines and water cannons from the Gorontalo Police took turns trying to extinguish the fire. "Currently, all firefighters from Gorontalo Province, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo City and Gorontalo Police have been deployed," said Masran in Gorontalo, Antara, Friday, June 16. Extinguishing efforts are still being carried out because access for officers to enter warehouses that store various types of flammable goods is difficult to pass. The location of the fire in densely populated settlements, so that the officer's car is difficult to reach directly, besides that the large number of items in the warehouse makes the fire and smoke still visible. "This is what makes it difficult for us from firefighters to access quickly to spray water at this time," he said. The joint team remains vigilant for fear that things will still explode easily in the warehouse that is still burning.

The fire in this densely populated settlement allegedly occurred on Friday at 00.00 WITA, the origin of the fire allegedly came from one of the residents' houses.
