Princess Mermaid Resort Ancol Caught Fire, The Cause Is Still Being Investigated
JAKARTA - The cottage building in the Putri Duyung Resort area, Taman Impian Jaya Ancol in Pademangan, North Jakarta, caught fire on Sunday, August 21 at around 17.00 WIB.
A number of firefighters assisted by the Traffic Unit of the Pademangan Police were seen trying to extinguish and localize the hotspots from Jalan Pantai Indah.
However, the fire quickly spread because the wind was blowing quite hard and the cottage building was made of wood. The cause of this fire is still being investigated.
However, one of Isye Siahaan's visitors who stayed at one of the cottage buildings (Paus 300) at Putri Duyung Resort admitted that before the incident, an explosion was heard.
"From the kitchen, there was an explosion," said Isye, quoted from Antara, Sunday.
Pademangan Police personnel are still at the site of the fire to determine the cause of the fire.
The fire this time made a number of firefighters struggle to extinguish the red rooster.
It was observed from a distance that the officers extended the hose from the gate where the daughter of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was married, to the burning cottage area.
As of 17.55 WIB, the fire was observed to be still devouring the building area.
It is not yet known whether there were casualties or the total loss received by Ancol Dreamland as a result of the incident.
