The owner of the house that caught fire in the Madrasah Gang RT 15/RW 10, Cibubur, Ciracas, East Jakarta, named Suwadi suffered burns to the head.

"My head was hit by a fire block, I applied an odol," said Suwadi.

His head was hit by a hotwood collapse as he tried to extinguish the fire that scorched his house.

"The fire was from above, the house was dried. I gave this odol so that the wound would not get worse and assisted by residents to extinguish the fire," said Suwadi.

The fire broke out at around 10:23 WIB. It was seen that residents who knew about the fire immediately went to the source of the fire and tried with makeshift tools to prevent the fire from getting bigger and spreading to other buildings.

Residents also had time to extinguish the red rooster with a light fire extinguisher (APAR). According to Suwadi, the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit.

"It looks like an electric 'short circuit', nothing but an electric 'short circuit' because no one is cooking at home," he said.

Suwadi's house was burned to the ground and left behind. Fortunately, his sick wife was immediately evacuated to a safer place.

Suwadi said that at that time he was not aware that the fire was already on the roof of his house burning and emitting black smoke.

"I was told by young people, there was a fire on the house, I immediately saved my sick wife," said Suwadi.
