TANGERANG Tangerang City Fire Department Command Center (Damkar) officer Junaedi explained that the warehouse that caught fire in Karawaci, Tangerang City was a chemical warehouse owned by PT Berdikari, and the Basic Food Warehouse, PT Rusindo.

As of Monday night, October 28, 2024 at 21.00 WIB, the fire had not been extinguished. Junaedi said there were 19 units and dozens of Tangerang City firefighters were deployed.

"Still red and unable to be controlled. The difficulty is because the water source is very limited," said Junaedi, Monday, October 28.

Initially, the fire broke out in the chemical warehouse of PT Berdikari and spread to the Basic Food Warehouse of PT Rusindo.

"When the chemical warehouse caught fire, PT Berdikari was empty, due to holidays. However, all employees of PT Rusindo's warehouse have been completely evacuated," said Junaedi.
