Tiner Warehouse In Semarang Temple Industrial Estate Burns

A fire hit a tiner warehouse in the Temple Industrial Estate, Semarang City, Central Java.

The Head of Operations and Rescue of the Semarang Fire Department, Untung Sugiono, said six fire engines were deployed to help extinguish the fire.

In addition, he continued, helicopters that were extinguishing the fire with "water boom" techniques at the Jatibarang TPA Semarang also helped extinguish the fire.

"Heli, who was doing the blackout at the Jatibarang TPA, was also seconded so that the handling was faster," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, September 23.

According to him, it took about an hour to overcome the fire.

The cause of the initial fire is not yet known. There were seven tiner tanks that caught fire as well as a truck in the warehouse.

"Foods that are flammable cause the fire to spread quickly," he said.
