JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung admitted that the number of personnel from the DKI Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service (Gulkarmat) is currently far from ideal.

"Indeed, there are still very few firefighters (firefighters) in Jakarta. Currently, there are only around 4 thousand members. Whereas ideally it may reach 11 thousand," said Pramono, Friday, May 9.

In fact, each fire station requires 18 personnel divided by 6 people in 3 units. In fact, one post is only filled with 9 people with a distribution of 3 people per unit.

In addition, the number of fire stations in Jakarta is still 182 out of a total of 267 urban villages in Jakarta. Meanwhile, according to the rules, each kelurahan should have one fire post.

Despite the lack of personnel, Pramono assessed that firefighters remain the mainstay of people who need help and rescue.

"With the shortcomings that exist, the Damkar remains the public's mainstay, the people are proud and proud, our Damkar is the world's first champion (in competitions in Singapore)," explained Pramono.

Therefore, the DKI Provincial Government plans to open the recruitment of firefighters with a formation of 1,000 people this year.

"The governor has decided to provide a quota for the receipt of the fire department. The receipt mechanism will be regulated, it's up to you, that's the full authority of the firefighters," he said.
