SEMARANG - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo immediately evaluates the fire incident at the Surakarta City Mental Hospital (RSJD) which killed two patients and left three patients with burns.

"There will definitely be an immediate evaluation, so if the cause is known, immediate action will be taken and it can be a lesson for all," said Ganjar in Semarang, quoted from Antara, Friday, August 5.

However, Ganjar wants to know the cause of the fire at the Surakarta RSJD first before taking further action for evaluation purposes.

According to him, the police are still investigating the fire incident at the Surakarta Hospital, so that the board of directors is asked to sterilize the area around the fire.

"The police are investigating the cause, I will go there later, but the directors have conveyed it and I asked for everything to be sterilized first so that the police can investigate," he said.

Regarding the two victims who died, Ganjar is still waiting for a detailed report from the Surakarta RSJD.

"I am still waiting for the report, his identity has not been conveyed to me," said the PDI-P politician.

The fire at the Surakarta General Hospital occurred on Friday (5/8) at around 04.00 WIB, to be precise in the Psychiatric Isolation Room, Puntadewa Room, with two patients dying and three others suffering from serious and minor burns.

Local Fire Service officers deployed four fleets to extinguish the fire and the fire was extinguished within 30 minutes.
