CIREBON - The Fire and Rescue Service (Damkar) of Cirebon Regency, West Java, deployed a entire fleet of firefighters to extinguish the fire that still burned a foam mattress factory. "We have deployed all cars from 10 posts in Cirebon Regency to extinguish the fire," said Head of the Cirebon Fire Service Ferry Afrudin in Cirebon, Antara, Tuesday, February 28. Ferry said the factory fire was indeed quite difficult to extinguish, because the materials inside the factory were very flammable. According to Ferry, his party has also deployed all fire fighting fleets in Cirebon Regency, to help tame the fire that continues to spread. There were 15 fire engines from the Cirebon Regency Fire Department that were deployed, not only that, but there were also fire engines from neighboring areas to help. "We continue to strive to extinguish the fire, but because the materials in the factory are very flammable, it is quite difficult to extinguish," he said. The foam mattress factory fire broke out since Monday night at around 20.00 WIB and until Tuesday, February 28 to 11.13 WIB, the fire had not been extinguished. Even the fire almost engulfed all the factory areas in Arjawinangun District, Cirebon Regency. For this reason, officers also continue to appeal to the public to be careful. In addition, the presence of flammable materials such as tiners, and raw materials for making foam mattresses also make it difficult for officers to carry out extinguishing efforts.
