The firescaperistiwa that scorched 18 rooms of SDN 01 Pondok Bambu, Duren Sawit District, East Jakarta, teaching and learning activities (KBM) at the school will continue on Wednesday, July 24, tomorrow.

However, the students will later study at other schools that are still in the Pondok Bambu area. This is because the condition of SDN 01 Pondok Bambu is not suitable for use after the fire. Later, they will take part in teaching and learning activities like the previous days.

"We have coordinated with other schools, we remain as usual, still enter as usual. At SDN Pondok Bambu 07, there are still vacant classes," said Head of Education at Duren Sawit District, Farida Farhah to reporters at the fire site, Tuesday, July 23.

Farida explained that when the fire occurred at SDN 01 Pondok Bambu, the teaching and learning activity process was almost complete. But suddenly sparks appeared until a fire broke out.

"It's almost finished, many parents have picked up (students). (students) have been successfully evacuated, there were no victims, there were no injuries," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the East Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept., Abdul Wahid, confirmed that so far his party had not received any reports of casualties due to the fire.

"So far there have been no casualties, hopefully. As of the current outage operation, we have not found or did not receive reports from local residents regarding casualties," he added.

Wahid said that some classes had completed the teaching and learning process at the burning school. However, some teachers are still there and some students are still at the school.

"Then someone saw smoke. Previously collected first, the students were collected to make sure all of these students were safe. No victims were trapped, no people were trapped. Hopefully there were no casualties. Then the students were sent home," he said.

Previously, it was reported that hundreds of students at SDN 01 Pondok Bambu, Duren Sawit District, East Jakarta, cried hysterically when their school building was hit by a fire on Tuesday, July 23, noon.

"When they picked up all the children (SDN students) crying. They were successfully evacuated, all of them came out. Alhamdulillah, congratulations to all the children," said Nanang, one of the students' parents to reporters at the fire site.

Hundreds of elementary school students cried because they saw the emergence of the flames that continued to grow in their schools. The reason is, the fire incident occurred when teaching and learning activities took place.

"Still in lessons. Still studying. When I saw above the warehouse there were already sparks," he said.
