The fire was quite large in the LPG warehouse in Denpasar, Bali. PT Pertamina Patra Niaga suspects the warehouse to carry out illegal practices in the form of voting, because it is not officially registered.

"It is suspected that this place is a place for mixing practices," said Area Manager Communication, Relations and CSR of Pertamina Patra Niaga, East Java, Bali and Nusa Tenggara Sunday Rahedi in Denpasar, as reported by ANTARA, Sunday, June 9.

He ensured that the warehouse that experienced the fire was not an official agent or base after the BUMN internal team checked the scene.

The allegation of gas mixing rose after the team found gas cylinders ranging from the size of three kilograms, 12 kilograms and 50 kilograms at the scene.

Currently, the state-owned oil and gas company is waiting for the results of an investigation by the police regarding the fire that engulfed the warehouse.

Previously, a fire hit an LPG warehouse on Jalan Cargo Taman Denpasar, Sunday at around 06.00 WITA.

Head of the Denpasar City Fire and Rescue Service I Made Tirana explained that the fire was thought to have started from an LPG warehouse which then spread to a paralon pipeline warehouse.

He revealed that about four people were victims of the fire at the LPG storage warehouse and the paralon pipe.

Of the four fire victims, he continued, three of them were referred to Surya Husada Hospital and one person was referred to Wangaya Hospital in Denpasar.

The four victims who suffered burns were LPG storage warehouse workers.

The fire that engulfed the LPG warehouse and the paralon pipeline warehouse was extinguished at around 08.30 WITA.

According to Tirana, seven fire engines were deployed to tame the "red rooster" in the two warehouses.

He detailed that of the seven fire engines, six of them were deployed by the Denpasar City Government and one other car from Badung Regency.
