JAKARTA – Since Tuesday, November 23, at night, a number of areas in West Jakarta have been hit by strong winds, such as Kalideres, Jembatan Tiga, and several other locations. Even due to strong winds, a number of buildings collapsed on the car.

Due to this natural phenomenon, the West Jakarta City Fire and Rescue Agency (PKP) immediately alerted 230 personnel to deal with fallen trees caused by strong winds.

"Indeed, there are 230 of our officers who stand by every day, our members stand by 24 hours," said West Jakarta PKP Sub-Department Operations Head Sjukri Bahanan, quoted Wednesday, November 24.

Sjukri also explained that his party often receives reports of fallen trees from the community through the "JAKI" application and the "112" telephone line. Based on the report, the officers guarding the nearest post immediately evacuated the trees so as not to interfere with community activities.

"As soon as possible, because this is an emergency treatment, so that the public interest is not disturbed, we will cut it. If we can cut it in two, we will cut it immediately," explained Sjukri.

Sjukri continued, the PKP Sub-Department coordinated with the Forestry and City Parks Sub-Department to deal with the findings of fallen trees.

It is known that two trees in the Kalideres area of West Jakarta fell on Tuesday due to strong winds.

The fallen tree occurred on Jalan Haji Dilah, Kamal Village, at around 19.30 p.m., while the second incident occurred in the Jambu Air area, Pegadungan Village.

"We immediately handled the two locations. There were no casualties," he said.

The two incidents were directly handled by the PKP Sub-dept. officer, which involved several related departments. Sjukri hopes that quick handling can help the community when a tree falls.
