"In addition to the warehouse, two houses were heavily damaged. Then one unit of Honda Brio and Honda Vario cars were also burned. The current condition is under control, there are no casualties or injuries. The area burned is about 400 square meters," he said.

South Cikarang Police Commissioner Chalid Thayib said the fire broke out in a warehouse owned by Miah residents (54). This accident was first discovered by a warehouse employee named Wandan (25) who woke up from sleep due to feeling hot.

"Then witness W came out to see the warehouse was on fire and immediately woke Cecep (34) who was sleeping with him," he said.

The victim's car, which was parked in the warehouse yard, was also burned, causing the fire to get bigger and spread to the victim's house.

"Based on the information of the victim's child, Yoman Yudistira (32), the burning warehouse is a place to store used cement bags, not a warehouse for storing B3 waste," he said.

The cause of the fire is suspected to be due to friction in the cement bag left over from the flour which was compacted last night, resulting in friction of the fire. "There have been three times in this warehouse and the cause of the burning was due to pocket friction," he said.

"There were no fatalities. However, the fire scorched a car, a motorbike, a waste warehouse unit, two permanent houses, and Rp350 million in cash. Officers are still at the TKP for further investigation regarding the cause of the fire," he said.
