JAKARTA - The National Police Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor) brought the remains of a rented fire in Matraman, East Jakarta. The remainder of the fire will be examined to determine the cause of the fire.

"We are already going to take several evidence barracks including electrical installations, then we will examine the charcoal ash from the fire in depth in the laboratory," said the Head of the Fire Sub-Unit for the National Police Center for Police, Kompol Kolis, to reporters, Thursday, March 25.

However, Kolis could not confirm the cause of the fire. Although various allegations about the start of the fire have emerged.

"It is not certain because it must be confirmed in the lab for the results, the result of charcoal ash is the same as electrical installations," he said.

Inspection of residual fires will likely take several days. Later, the results of the examination will be delivered.

"So we wait for a day or two, then we conclude that we will tell the police chief about the cause of the fire," he said.

A fire for a rented house in Matraman, East Jakarta occurred at 04.50 WIB. The victims were trapped in several rented plots.

The dead victims were found in rented squares number two and three. The victim has been evacuated from the rented house on Jalan Pisangan Baru III RT 06 / RW 10, Matraman District. They will be buried in Pondok Ranggon TPU.
