JAKARTA - Makassar Mayor Moh Ramdhan Pomanto said the temporary data on victims of the Makassar Trans Studio Mal (TSM) building fire, Jalan Metro Tanjung Bunga was recorded at 32 people.

"There are 17 people at Siloam Hospital and several others at the puskesmas around here (the location of the incident). Meanwhile, 32 people," said Ramdhan at the TSM Makassar yard, South Sulawesi, Monday night.

Meanwhile, one victim who fainted had been evacuated due to shortness of breath and had gradually recovered, and had been allowed to return from Siloam Hospital.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Makasaar Health Service, Nursaidah Sirajuddin, added that of the 32 victims, one person was rushed to Siloam Hospital in an unconscious state. And several others were handled by the health team of 42 Puskesmas who were brought in to help the victims.

"For the victims handled by the Mamajang Health Center, two people, two people from Mangasa, and several others have been handled. We have coordinated with the Provincial Health Office according to the mayor's direction for all hospitals to be opened, so there is no rejection. Temporary diagnosis is shortness of smoke," he added, as quoted by Antara.

When asked whether the information was that the victims were dominated by children, he said, the report had not yet been submitted, because the main focus on saving victims was prioritizing.

Regarding the development of the evacuation, the mayor stated that currently the Fire Department team had cooled down and the concentration of smoke was still trapped inside. So it is necessary to talk about smoke with a blower. It's just that one is used, it still needs a few blowers to speed up the search process, because the lights have been turned on.

"While the sweeping has not been found by the victim, it can be seen from the video, the view is very limited. The sweeping is carried out by an integrated team using tools, oxygen masks. Normally, I can't go inside yet, I'm trying to enter but I can't," Danny said.
