The fire incident at the building on Jalan Letjend Suprapto occurred on Tuesday, December 9 at 12:43 WIB. The death toll from the fire at the drone sales building was 22 people. The victims consisted of 15 women and 7 men.
BPBD noted that 76 employees were in the Terra Drone Indonesia building. In the fire incident that occurred, 54 people were rescued and are now undergoing treatment.
DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung assessed that the Terra Drone building in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta yesterday violated standard building safety rules. This was known by Pramono after directly inspecting the location of the incident and discussing with the Central Jakarta Police Chief and the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government after the procurement and evacuation process was completed.
"Actually, the main problem is that if everyone obeys the rules, it will not happen. This must be built without regulations," Pramono said when met at the Mulia Hotel, Central Jakarta.
According to Pramono, the physical condition of the storage building and the sale of these drones showed strong indications that safety standards had not been met since the beginning of the construction.
He highlighted the structure of the building that did not comply with the provisions and lack of emergency rescue facilities, which ultimately had a fatal impact when the fire appeared and smoke filled the room quickly.
"If I look at the structure and so on, they will definitely break the rules. Why? The stairs are very small, and that's what causes some people who can't go down," said Pramono.
