JAKARTA - The fire devoured the Jakarta Islamic Center Mosque quickly on Wednesday, October 19 at around 15.20 WIB. It takes 90 personnel and 21 fire engines (damkar) to tame the red rooster.

"21 units, 90 personnel [as deployed]," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service, Satriadi at the fire site, Wednesday, October 19.

Currently, the mosque fire, which is located on Jalan Kramat Jaya, North Tugu Village, Koja District, North Jakarta, has been extinguished. Firefighters who were at the location carried out their main cooling in the dome of the mosque.

Satriadi said that his party had not been able to confirm material losses as a result of the fire that engulfed the Jakarta Islamic Center Mosque building. He asked to wait for information after there was data collection from related parties.

"Losses are not yet known," he said.

However, related to this fire, the big dome at the top of the Jakarta Islamic Center Mosque collapsed and fell to the ground. Luckily there were no casualties in the incident.

"Until now there has been no information from the members or the community who have been injured," said Satriadi

Based on information from the police, the fire started when four PT Agung Sentosa Pratama workers renovated the dome of the Jakarta Islamic Center Mosque. At that time the renovation was using triplex materials.

Head of Intelligence and Security at the North Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Slamet Wibisono, said that as a result of the renovation process with a building fuel mechanism, sparks appeared that caused the fire to occur.

The witnesses melted the membrane (rolled asphalt) to attach the roof material using a fuel. It is suspected that the spark from the fuel device hit the glasbul until the fire broke out," said Slamet in his statement, Wednesday, October 19.

At the time of the incident, the workers tried to extinguish the fire with a light fire extinguisher. However, the fire is getting bigger.

"The witness tried to extinguish the fire using fire but the fire grew bigger and finally the overall Islamic Mosque was burned," he said.
