There are several fans in the refugee camp because the situation is quite hot because of the large number of residents who have fled in the tent.

While refugees in the classroom, it looks more free but lack of sleeping mats. Residents only sleep on tarpaulins and a few mattresses.

In addition, fire victims also seemed enthusiastic about fighting over used clothes available at the evacuation site at SDN 09 Kebon Blank.

"The 4th grade elementary school children. All the uniforms and school books were gone. Just brought a certificate and KIA. My ID card caught fire. The one that caught fire was his own house, not a contract," he said.

Currently, Wartini is forced to evacuate in the SDN 09 school building because she no longer has a place to live. He has no relatives outside the Kemayoran area.

"All of you are here, the house was also burned yesterday," he said.
