JAKARTA - The fatal fire incident that occurred in a warehouse of accessories and houses in the Penjaringan area, North Jakarta, had made the local residents panic during the incident.
The reason is, the victim's hysterical screams from inside the house before being found dead had made residents even more panicked when trying to manually extinguish it.
However, the flames quickly burned the entire house and the accessories warehouse.
"Officers and residents on the ground heard screams from inside the house asking for help," said Head of the Metro Police, Penjaringan, AKBP Agus Ady Wijaya when confirmed, Friday, December 19.
Furthermore, officers and residents tried to enter by poking the trellis using a machete from the back door of the house. However, this effort was in vain and did not bear fruit.

The new fire could only be extinguished after being watered by 10 fire trucks at the scene. The process of cooling the new fire was completed on Friday morning at around 06.00 WIB.
Furthermore, officers and residents searched for information related to the 5 residents of the house who had shouted but initially could not be found at the crime scene.
