Central Java Police have concluded the beginning of the Tegal 'New Orange' karaoke fire, which killed six people in Tegal City. An electrical short is said to be the cause.

"As a result of the electrical short circuit from the 'exhaust fan' motorcycle with the main electrical installation cable," said Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Stefanus Satake Bayu, when confirmed, Wednesday, January 17.

The electrical short occurred in the prayer room, to be precise on the third floor of the nightclub.

"The location of the first fire was in the prayer room on the 3rd floor with coordinates 1.5 meters from the west wall of the wall, 1 meter from the wall of the south wall with a height of 3 meters," he said.

The electrical short circuit caused sparks. Then, the fire grew bigger because there were many flammable objects around the location.

"Insulted in flammable materials such as plastic, wood, carpet, and foam," said Satake.

As a result of the fire, six people died. All of them are workers from the karaoke place.
