The current 5 victims have been rushed to the Mampang Prapatan regional general hospital (RSUD).

Meanwhile, for the current condition, firefighters are still doing the blackout. The difficulty is because the building reaches 4 floors.

"We see that there are 4 floors of buildings where the front position of the 1-story building and the rectangular section is 4 floors, so it is a bit difficult for officers to reach the fire department in this 4-story building," he concluded.
