JAKARTA - In the last few days, Jakarta has been hit by successive fires in various regions. However, DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung claimed that one of the fire management programs he was running was quite effective.
The program is "One RT One APAR". Where, the DKI Provincial Government places a light fire extinguisher in each RT as the first prevention of the fire while waiting for the arrival of firefighters.
According to Pramono, in the fire that occurred in North Duri Village, Tambora District, West Jakarta, the impact of the fire could be suppressed due to the use of APAR.
"Indeed, there were several fires in Jakarta, one of which was in Tambora yesterday. I will continue the one RT one APAR program and it is proven that when in Tambora the relative RT-RT already has fire extinguishers. So, the impact will be smaller," said Pramono at Mayestik Market, South Jakarta, Tuesday, July 22.
On the one hand, Pramono ensured that handling fires and rescue of victims remained a priority for the DKI Provincial Government.
"Although I have to admit that like in Tambora the densely populated short circuits often occur and yesterday happened, we will still handle anything," said Pramono.
