Illegal Oil Processing Warehouse In Jambi City Burns Out

JAMBI - An oil processing warehouse suspected of being illegal on the West Ring Road, RT25, Mayang Mangurai Village, Alam Barajo District, Jambi City, caught fire.

There were no fatalities in the incident, while the fire could only be extinguished at 22.30 WIB.

A local resident, Andi, suspected that the oil warehouse caught fire due to an electrical short circuit.

"Initially the first hut that caught fire, maybe it grabbed the oil that was there," said Andi, a local resident who saw the first incident reported by Antara, Monday, April 11.

According to him, the oil warehouse activity has been going on for three years. This warehouse is also used as a place for oil processing.

"Usually a lot of tankers go back and forth," he said.

ANTARA's monitoring from the location of the fire was successfully extinguished by the fire brigade team who dispatched about three fire engines that were deployed.

Until this news was published, there has been no notification of the alleged illegal oil warehouse activity from the related parties.
