South Jakarta Police Chief Kombes Nicolas Ary Lilipaly appealed to residents to avoid the road to the location of the Taman Puring Market fire, Kebayoran Baru, precisely on Jalan Gandaria and Kyai Maja.

"We urge residents to avoid heading to the Taman Puring Market," Nicolas told reporters in Jakarta, Monday night.

Nicolas asked local residents not to disturb or obstruct officers during the blackout.

Then, the police also engineered traffic to deal with traffic jams around the fire site.

"Regarding traffic flow, we have engineered traffic and have transferred it, but indeed many are also watching (fires)," he said.

Until now, it seems that there is no fire at the location but white smoke is still rising high.

The police have also installed a police line so that no one enters the fire area.

Meanwhile, the South Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service (Gulkarmat) said that some of the fire locations in the Taman Puring Market had entered the cooling stage.

"Some buildings have been cooled, then after it's finished," said the Sarono picket Officer.

A total of 115 personnel from the South Jakarta Fire and Rescue (Gulkarmat) Sub-dept. handled a fire at Taman Puring Market, Kebayoran Baru.

As many as 500 units of stalls were sold out due to fires at Taman Puring Market, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, which occurred since around 18.00 WIB.
