JAKARTA - The East Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service (Sudin Gulkarmat) succeeded in evacuating pythons in two different locations. The evacuation was carried out at the request of the residents through a report received by the East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept.

Head of East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept., Gatot Sulaeman, said that his party evacuated the python on Jalan AMD XII, Makasar Village, Makasar District, East Jakarta, based on reports from residents.

"Evacuated, a python with a length of 2 meters was in a flower pot. The evacuation was carried out by 4 rescue personnel on Monday, February 7 night. The snake was successfully evacuated," said Gatot when contacted by VOI, Tuesday, February 8.

Next, officers took the python to the East Jakarta Fire Department post. A few hours later, officers again received reports of snake findings from other residents.
