There Are People Trapped In The Bathroom, East Jakarta Firefighters Cross Regions To The Center, Officers: We Don't See The Area, Just Save It First

JAKARTA - The East Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service (Sudin Gulkarmat) assisted in the evacuation process of victims trapped in the bathroom in a house located on Jalan Kenari 2, No. 198, RT 12/04, next to Cozy laundry and RPTRA Kenari Village, Kecamatan Monday, Central Jakarta.

According to the Head of Operations Section of the Central Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept. Syaiful Kahfi, the evacuation of residents was carried out by East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept. officers because the victims reported to East Jakarta.

Due to the location of the outreach of the incident location being close to the Matraman Fire Brigade post, the evacuation was still carried out by East Jakarta Gulkarmat officers.

"Residents came to East Jakarta, who went to the location of the East Jakarta rescue team. Coincidentally, the area was close from Matraman to Kenari, so they didn't see the area and immediately evacuated," he said when contacted by VOI, Monday, December 20.

A total of five rescue teams from the East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept. were deployed to the Kenari area, Central Jakarta.

"Alhamdulillah, the rescue of people trapped in the bathroom went smoothly. The Romunas victims were successfully evacuated by officers," he said.

Based on the information gathered, Romunas was in the bathroom at the time of the incident and locked the door from the inside. Then the lock got stuck and couldn't open.

"The victim was trapped for about an hour in the bathroom. The rescue team after receiving the report immediately took action. Handling was faster from the East Jakarta sector, because the information came from the East first. The victim was successfully evacuated," he said.
