JAKARTA - A fire in a densely populated residential area of the Kemayoran area began to be extinguished on Tuesday, December 10, at around 15.00 WIB.
The flames that devoured hundreds of houses were successfully extinguished by 128 personnel with 32 fire engines.
"The fire has succeeded in the cooling process at 15.00 WIB. The current status has turned yellow or cooled," said Head of Central Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept., Asril Rizal when confirmed by VOI.
The fire started with sparks from the house that were used as a collection of plastic junk belonging to a resident with the initials J.
The spark then quickly grew and burned all parts of the semi-permanent building in the area.

"The position of many people is to secure their respective goods," he said.
