The public is asked to be aware of the possibility of fires occurring during the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year holidays. There are several causes that have the potential to cause fires.

The Depok City Fire and Rescue Service asked residents to be aware of the causes of fires such as electricity, candles or kerosene lights, stoves, cigarette butts and burning mosquito medicines that often cause fires.

"Check all the conditions of the house before going on vacation," said Head of the Depok City Fire and Rescue Service, Budiana Airport, as reported by Antara, Sunday, December 25.

In addition, self-assiance is needed to anticipate the danger of fire by realizing environmental resilience by forming volunteers in an environment that is tailored to the needs of each region.

The airport reminded that in the event of a fire, immediately contact the Depok City Fire and Rescue Service via Emergency Call Number (NTPD) 112. In addition, you can also contact social media such as Instagram @damkardepok.

"In order to minimize material losses and casualties before arriving, firefighters, carry out fire fighting efforts using surrounding objects, such as burlap sacks, water, sand, and Light Fire Extinguishing (APAR)," he said.

The airport further said that it trusted firefighters in carrying out Fire and Rescue Operations, to maximize operations and reduce the risk caused by fires.

By providing space for the activities of officers and operational vehicles, do not crowd and park the vehicle around the incident.
